“It’s getting hot in here” Fashion Show
Date: Thursday, October 1st
Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Location: Funk It Coffee + Thrift (Northside, Missoula)
Admission: Free & Open to All
In celebration of Climate Smart Missoula Week, we are turning our shop into a runway for a night of sustainable style, community, and local artistry.
Join us as 5 incredible local designers and their models showcase wearable art crafted from secondhand finds, upcycled materials, and pure imagination. We’re proving that the most sustainable wardrobe is the one already in your community—and that recycling can look high-fashion.
Expect an evening filled with:
Live Runway Presentations: Featuring 5 distinct local designers pushing the boundaries of slow fashion.
Beats & Energy: Live DJ spinning throughout the night to keep the cozy corner lively.
Community Connection: A chance to celebrate the creators, thrifters, and dreamers who make Missoula so vibrant.
Mini Pop-up Meet & Greet: Shop the designers’ racks after the show and get to meet the designers and models.
This is a free community event, so pull up a chair, grab a drink, and come celebrate local fashion that loves the planet back. Shed your coat, stay awhile, and see what happens when creativity meets conservation.
NOTE: Please arrive early as the show will start promptly at 7 PM and no entry will be allowed after. If you are running behind, the front doors will be open to view from outside while the show is in session, and then join the party after the show is done!

The Collection
Is inspired by the used and vintage fabrics I've been drawn to and collected over the years, which all somewhat accidentally reflect 50s and 60s patterns and style. This collection showcases these patterns and styles with retro silhouettes, perfect for these recent sweltering endless summers.

Subtle Statement Pieces
This collection represents the first series of my designs that I offer as sewing patterns. It's a little 80s, and a little random.
