Lisa Luck art for SHAHS

Yes, this is a fashion blog, but from time to time I like to show the latest in local poster art that has a fashion illustration feel to it. Here is a poster by Lisa Luck for Pitchfork-approved one-man band SHAHS' in-store performance at Yeti Records tomorrow. Adorable.

Local fashion link roundup

Minnesota-bred model (and America's Next Top Model runner-up) Raina Hein is looking gorgeous in a new shoot by Charles Lucima.

Check out this collection of International Klein Blue items in Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's spread inspired by the Walker's ongoing Yves Klein exhibition in its October issue.

Mpls.St.Paul also shines the spotlight on totally-awesome designer toy shop ROBOTlove.

Former Minneapolitan hairstylist Kelsy Osterman (also my business partner in stylist collective Eclecticoiffeur and longtime Voltage lead hairstylist) has been making waves since her departure to NYC to work for Cutler Salon. She just got a fab review in Beauty News NYC, and it's a great read for anyone who's ever known Kelsy.

One of my favorite Twin Cities models, Lily Adriana, is making a splash in NYC. Check her out on the runway of NYC Bridal Fashion Week.

New local fashion blog alert: local It girl and sometime model-and-stylist Ines Kovacevic's new blog Merci Mon Cheri is a whole lot of pretty.

Juleana Enright interviews Emma Berg about her upcoming showing at the MNfashion-sponsored MIA Third Thursday event for l'etoile magazine.

Christopher Straub debuts additional Spring 2011 pieces

Project Runway alum Christopher Straub showed a few more pieces from his Spring 2011 collection on Wednesday at the IamMoody and 96.3-produced "Fashion Fright Night" at the Fine Line. In addition to the looks he debuted at Envision: Artopia Fall 2010, here are some looks hitting the runway for the first time:

Wow. What a stunning dress. I would have been blown away to have seen this on the Envision runway. The classic silhouette with the gorgeous sleeves and unique fabric treatment produces a sophisticated, elegant result.

A cute enough silhouette, very on trend. Nothing new though.

Maybe in a different fabric this could have worked, but it appears to be that inexpensive-looking faux leather. And are those rhinestones running down the front? The result is sort of tacky.
