Come and mingle with the designers, and soak in the blooming energy of Downtown Portland.

 Petal and Pose is a bloom-inspired fashion show, proudly part of the city’s “Bloom Tour” campaign to revitalize downtown and support local businesses. Taking place on June 1st, this event celebrates the creativity and artistry of our community through the work of two remarkable designers and a distinguished boutique. The show is co-produced by a dedicated team: Veronica Navarrette (Executive Producer), Nicholas Lemaire (Backstage Director and Co-Producer), and Jen Stever (Co-Producer). 

Love, Stephanie, a talented designer and teacher at the Portland Fashion Institute, will present four stunning looks, enriched with botanical elements by the renowned Françoise Weeks. Burnt2theB, a crochet artist known for his intricate patterns and beautiful flower accents, will showcase a unique collection of pants, jackets, and shawls. Complementing these designers, Sparkly Gowns, a beloved boutique specializing in bridal and prom dresses, will showcase a selection of their finest pieces. 

This event also serves as a teaser for our next fashion show, scheduled for August 23rd in the same location, continuing the floral theme and building on the beauty of Petal and Pose. Stay tuned for more details!
