Too much of the fashion world writes off Seattle as the land of flannel and rain slickers, but the 3rd Annual EcoLavish Fashion Show on Nov. 11 proved this city’s designers have a lot to offer. Marketed as Seattle’s only eco-conscious fashion event, the show took place at the stunning Herban Feast SODO Park. The lofty venue was the perfect setting for the event.Photos by Catherine Anstett.Published on November 12, 2010
