Xtabay, of course. On Liz Gross’ Xtabay blog, she writes about the oft-photographed designer Fetherston on a spree at her boutique (one of Portland’s consistently excellent vintage shops). Gross reports that Fetherston said, “Portland has the best vintage shopping in the country.”
It wasn’t the first time Fetherston had shopped at Xtabay. She said that she bought a 1950s tulle prom dress at Xtabay a few years ago. She cut the dress shorter, then sponged it with fabric dye to give it a Monet-esque, watercolor look. She said the dress was a big hit, and that she lent it to Lindsay Lohan, who loved it.
What did Fetherston buy? “Roehm 1980s dress, Dior lingerie, a Lilli Ann coat, a Diane von Furstenberg nightgown, a 1970s wide-brimmed hat.”
Just a little note on appreciating what we have here, especially buyers with a great eye like Gross.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
