The Return of the Walnut Street Bridge

Brilliant spring weather heralded the reopening of Chattanooga's much missed pedestrian bridge Friday and today's second crossing gave me this colorful subject. Be sure to save the date of May 16th for the bicycle fashion show Collective Commute.

In reality, he swaps the herringbone tweed hat for a proper helmet when mixing with the traffic.

Chattanooga School of Arts and Sciences

A mutual friend introduced me to Skyler Metheny, whose senior project took a critical look at how body images have evolved in fifty years of fashion. We agreed that street style blogging offered a refreshing and positive counterpoint to underfed runway models. Along with her paper she presented these looks, many of them from Collective Clothing and one from LEO. Here are some highlights from the show.

She's A Rainbow

Her outfit brings to mind the Rolling Stones.

Springtime in Chattanooga

Andrae McGary

City Councilor Andrae McGary is a man of many parts. A regular reader of The Sartorialist, he displays a great sense of personal style. It was my pleasure to meet him today at the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, where we attended a second performance of Sisters Speak Out.

Sisters Speak Out

Come to the new Girl's Leadership Academy, 1200 Grove Street, at 7pm for an evening of affirmation, empowerment and "fashion from the inside out". There will be an encore performance at 2pm tomorrow at The Community Kitchen. A production of Be Magazine, SSO is an ever-evolving performance art project that aims to create the picture of a healthy community of women.

Yes, indeed!

Mid-century Remix on Frazier Avenue

The 1940's jacket plays well with a skirt from the 1960's for a look as fresh as 2010.

In Bluff View

Come to River Gallery in Bluff View from 6:30 'til 8 tonight for an opening reception honoring Margaret Dyer and Joan Rasmussen.

Spring Season

The warmer season is full upon us and it shows in the frequency of postings. He told me that today might be a last opportunity to wear this camel jacket. Old school Wallabees and vintage Ray Bans, the kind with ear clips, round out this classic look assembled in part from thrift scores. While winter's chill certainly reduced foot traffic around town, the closing of the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge has affected Frazier Avenue merchants and this blog alike. A check of last January, February and March revealed ten encounters on that structure, not to mention all the crossings that allowed me to find stylish folk on both sides of the Tennessee River. Repairs to the decking appear to be complete. Let's hope it reopens soon.

Cycling in St. Elmo
