From Gretchen:

Hi Julian,

Well now…

Might you have the time and interest in writing up my fashion show so it could be in the paper? The show is November 17th, If my dreams came true you would want to write it up and it would be Blogged the week before, November 12th or so

The materials I am working with are: leather, pheasant feathers, wool suiting and chiffon. My inspiration right now is a bit SW Indian meets Manhattan. Minnetonka Moccasins, Taupe tights, feather/leather headbands, Needle worked Moths (the book Prodigal Summer is very much sewn into this whole collection and idea). The moths for my logo come from the hopi moth, which will be embellished onto the pieces along with lots of little leather detailing) Jewelry (a special Collection) by Anna Korte- my partner, my muse. www.iheartanna.com/ www.iheartanna.etsy.com

Oct 18-24: Modmix, the First USDA Certified Organic Cocktail Mixer–Makes Its Oregon Debut at PDX Fashion Week

I’m visiting red earth land (aka Oklahoma) for a wedding, so I’ve been keeping offline as much as possible so that I could give my full attention to my family and friends in this area. I got on the email box today (1000 or so new=a lot of cool stuff going on plus a lot to look over) and saw this awesomeness. Yeah, the Fashion Week is on for sure, and fashion+organic drinks = love from Julian

Modmix, the First USDA Certified Organic Cocktail Mixer,

Makes Its Oregon Debut at PDX Fashion Week

Step Up to the Fashion Bar: Modmix Brings Luxury, Style and Sophisticated Taste

to the Classic Cocktail. Cocktail hour. Organically remixed.

PORTLAND, Oct. 18, 2007 – Inspired by three women and their love of organic living, clean design, and a finely crafted cocktail, Modmix, the first USDA certified organic cocktail mixer, makes its Oregon debut during Portland’s 4^th Annual PDX Fashion Week October 19-24. Designers, models and ‘fashionistas’ can unwind after a long day on the catwalk with a stylish Modmix cocktail available at the main and VIP bars during PDX Fashion Week.
Exclusive to the PDX Fashion Show, Modmix has created two signature drinks to celebrate the event entitled the “Fashionista Margarita” and the “Couture Mojito.” Both specialty cocktails embody the spirit of Portland with the style of the show and can best be described as Portland perfection with a twist!
According to a 2007 Food and Beverage Trend Report, the demand for organic foods grew 29% from 2006. Answering this organic demand, Modmix created five all organic gourmet recipes that provide a modern makeover to classic cocktails and include:
