Portland Fashion Week Friday Night

So, I didn't make it to Thursday night.  Friday night was a good mix of designs spanning Nike considered, May Tee, Dimitri, Alula from Seattle, and Sameunderneath.  Dimitri opened the show with an urban men's line featuring graphic tees and accessories constructed of giant bullets which looked like they were a little heavy.  The models' pants were hanging so low from the weight of their belts.  Nike was 80's inspired, brightly colored sportswear.  Alula switched things up with some flirty and feminine dresses in micro-floral prints and rich hues like raspberry, mustard, and turquoise.  Next, May Tee focused on neutral tones splashed across modern, clean lines.  The show closer, Sameunderneath began their show with a little drama introducing their vacation/destination inspired line.  They finished the night with a giant, flowing tie-dyed dress with a fuschia belt which looked elegant on Erin.  Overall, a good variety of designers and great music by "DJ Gemo".

After the shows we headed to East for a drink before venturing to Aura for the after-party.  I don't think I've been in Aura since I was in college!!  I was a little nervous for the stench of cologne and brightly colored miniskirts.  We ended up having a really good time, however, with the help of massive quantities of champagne and watching a certain someone making out against the wall!!
