I have several friends from New York that come to DC thinking that there will be no fashion scene what-so-ever. Having actually worked in the DC fashion biz for a few years, I find the comments ignorant, but not any more uninformed than other Washingtonians. Most people in DC don't realize that major design labels such as Salvatore Ferregamo and Oscar de la Renta put on fashion shows in DC, but they do!
There's a lot more to DC fashion than the socialites and ladies who lunch trunk shows. There is DCist style--street chic and it's creeping up all over the metro area. I am on the look out to bring you stylish and realistic tips to staying street chic in the metro.
