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.
