Russian Roulette

In my search for something to post, I decided to go on style.com and just pick two random Fall 2009 shows that I had never even heard of. And while neither are what I would consider "ground-breaking," I loved them. They both had some fabulous, extremely wearable pieces.

Carl Finch of Brave Combo has this to say:

When I moved to Denton in the early 1970s to study art at NTSU, the scene was all about music and self-expression. The One O’Clock Lab Band was a big deal around the world, hippies roamed free and easy, and political demonstrations were a regular event. The epicenter of this mindset was, of course, Fry Street, or more appropriately, the corner of Fry and Hickory. The first head shop in Texas was on Fry Street (the Birmingham Balloon) and, in fact, the street itself was developing a national reputation as a gathering place for movers, shakers and thinkers. It’s always been a symbol of what Denton, as an organic being, offered to encourage “unbridled” creativity. Artistically, Denton was once known as an “anything goes” town and an oasis of intelligence.
