Anna Victoria

Between Chattanooga friends and family in Knoxville, Tennessee remains a favorite travel destination. My most recent roadtrip included a visit to the Chattanooga atelier of Anna Victoria Design. We met last summer at the Atlanta Apparel Market, where she won the Buyer's Choice among emerging designers. With the Nashville Fashion Week looming in calendar, Anna paused from her busy day to show me around the place where dresses are made for boutiques like Laura Kathryn in Birmingham, Hemline in Mobile and her new webstore.

In Atlanta: Vintage Love

Having just returned from this visit to Chattanooga made it all the nicer to meet the proprietors of that city's Vintage Love at The Goat Farm. It bears repeating: regular postings to The Chattanoogan ceased in July 2010, yet more than 400 page views were recorded during the past thirty days. Chance encounters both here and there cannot account for all such traffic. Chattanooga remains a deep well of style and a wonderful opportunity for street fashion blogging. Anyone?
