Art Mixes With Fashion At Radish Underground
Hood River designer Jennifer Thomas and artist Leif Ilvedson share a love for fashion. After all, fashion is art, and there's no better way to prove it than by making a painting of a mysterious lady wearing a fabulous dress. 
Jennifer's designs are not only chic, but comfortable. Made with soft washable materials, her creations blur the line between elegance and street fashion chic. This dress will look fabulous with either jewels and strappy sandals or a denim jacket and boots.

Solacial Rains, on display at Radish Underground, is artist, Leif Ilvedson's interpretation of Jennifer's dress. Looking into the paining we wonder, who is the lady under the umbrella outside in the rain? Where is she going? Where has she been?

Street Fashion
On the street — Portland guys and gals who, when it comes to fashion, think for themselves.
Mihja, Nordstrom's Nars Cosmetic Specialist, has chic bohemian style down cold. When it comes to accessorizing Mihja knows that a great metallic bag (Dolce & Gabbana), head scarf, and metallic sandals will turn her basic T and skinny jeans into a head-turning outfit.
Anise has a creative style that mirrors her work as an artist.
Interior Designer, Tate, takes to the streets with casual style. Fitted zipper cardigan paired with loose fitting cotton pants and sneakers give Tate the kind of sophisticated urban look seen on the streets of most major cities.
Khathy, Moule Sales Associate, has a casual chic style. Her wide hip-slung belt and metallic sandals dress up her look allowing her to head straight from work to a night on the town.
Anna's style is sophisticated glamour. The fabuloso gold studded bag adds a bold anchor to her look .
Glamour to the inth-degree. LV bag and shoes, off the shoulder sheer top, bloomer shorts (the trend for summer), and celebrity, large frame sunglasses, Olga knows fashion.
Mikka is Nordstrom's Go To Shu Uemura Sales Professional. Her style is simply chic. Her turquoise rectangular clutch (D&G) adds a splash of color and structure, while her bold black frame glasses lend an element of playful style.
Rachel, a student at Portland State, is urban chic in her skinny jeans, T, hoodie, and sneakers. Riding the Max she appears confident in who she is and what she wears.
