Editorial: "Minnesota Style in a New York Fashion"

We all know that many of the Twin Cities' brightest head to the bright lights of New York City to make their mark. But we say once a Minnesotan, always a Minnesotan. Minneapolis-via-New York style blog MPLSTYLE.com went out and spotlighted the most stylish of this group of photographers, art directors, stylists, and magazine editors for this editorial, "Minnesota Style in a New York Fashion," and you're sure to recognize some names, like former local fashion designers Ashley Wokasch (Calpurnia Peach), Niki English, and Coco and Breezy, and photographers Benjamin Fredrickson and Brad Ogbonna (regulars in my muses and lenses feature).

Glamorama ladies in Joynoelle

I had the honor of getting to wear a Joynoelle piece to Macy's Glamorama earlier this month - and I wasn't the only one. Melissa Colgan (Mpls.St.Paul Magazine fashion editor), Sara Rogers (Mall of America trend specialist) and Raina Hein (America's Next Top Model runner-up) also donned looks by designer Joy Teiken.

Here's Raina and I in the VIP photo booth at the after party, both in Joynoelle-designed looks.

And Raina in her Joynoelle dress, crafted from OfficeMax materials (the green stripes are rubberbands) as part of the OfficeMax sponsorship.

Here's Sara Rogers in Joynoelle Spring 2010; her own belt added a different edge to the look.
