It's that time of year again. Charleston Fashion Week is here. Once again I'll be armed with my camera out and about around the tents on the hunt for stylish folks.

Scott Carpenter is the community manager of Yelp Charleston (aka “The Yelp Guy”) and box office manager at Charleston Fashion Week® (CFW). He geeks out about Charleston and beer on a daily basis. You’ll find him collecting koozies and shoes, both for the same reason. They protect what gets him going! You can find Scott at @YelpCharleston on Instagram and Twitter.

As it turns out, volunteering can be surprisingly beneficial, not only for others, but also for yourself. In 2012, a series of events led me into the very crowded pool of job seekers in a very down economy. The decision was already made that I wanted to find a new focus to shape my future career path using an out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new type of approach. Marketing and events were my passion, but my previous position didn’t leave me with the expertise in those fields that I needed. What better way to get a crash course than to volunteer my time at events within the local community?

One of the first opportunities I came across was an application to volunteer for Charleston Fashion Week®. My initial thought was that it would be fun to get involved with such a large-scale, high-energy event. My availability was pretty “wide open” due to my current employment status, so I offered to be available anytime to increase my chances of being chosen. I was selected to be the lead volunteer in charge of the box office. Although the image of swiping credit cards and printing tickets wasn’t all too glamorous, I was excited to be part of the team.

I couldn’t have been more wrong about that expectation. It didn’t take long to realize this position demanded much more than your standard “enjoy the show” salutation. I was training and managing other volunteers, problem solving lost or missing tickets, and creating solutions to problems we didn’t even know existed. The box office team and I were on the front line of making sure that every guest had their tickets and were happy about the overall experience. Plus, they all arrive at about the same time… no pressure. As the week went on, the tasks became more familiar, but the stakes became higher as the shows were sold out, leaving no room for error. I quickly had to adapt the role based on the task at hand.

In only five days of volunteering, I was able to accomplish more than working for five months. New friendships were created that are still intact today, networking doors were opened that turned into long-term opportunities, and I gained invaluable experience in areas that directly translate to the necessary skills of working on events. 

Volunteering for CFW not only led me to my next job, it gave me the skills and experience I needed to land my current position as the Charleston community manager for Yelp.com. As for my volunteer role with Charleston Fashion Week®, I was hired the following year to come back for the role of box office manager, and 2015 will be my fourth year back.

Looking for your big break? Click here to apply to volunteer for Charleston Fashion Week® today! Hurry—the application deadline is January 23. 

The Gibbes Museum's Society 1858 threw one heck of a winter party this year! Not only was everyone on board for a ride on the Magical Mystery Tour and dressed as such, but there was an art action, too.

Sally K. Halsey of Carriage Properties was the proud winner of this watercolor, pen, and ink piece titled "Chaos on a Cow'" by local Charleston artist Richard Hagerty. At this event, various works by up-and-coming local artists were auctioned off. We thought this one was the most well suited for the Magical Mystery Tour theme, and it immediately caught our eye (well, the strawberry tree did). Hagerty's work will be on display at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park this coming fall.

We love these two ladies above, Elizabeth Gumb (L) and Kristin Romness, co-chairs of the Gibbes Society 1858, in their psychedelic-print shift dresses. Check out Elizabeth's yellow patent-leather box purse (Library vintage), scarab ring (Candy Shop Vintage), platform wedge shoes (Prada), and dress by Thread Social.

Kathleen Hodgson of Charleston is wearing an authentic woven wool-blend suit from 1972 that her mom wore as her adieu ensemble following her wedding reception, paired with tall vintage brown-leather boots. The fit, the cut, the fabric—everything is still stylish today. Now, that's taste that stands the test of time! One of our favorite looks of the evening.

Above, Larry James, distribution coordinator at Charleston Magazine, is dapper in a vintage plaid tumeric-colored sharkskin blazer and skinny tie with green glass metal frames. He completes the look with modern loafers and corduroy trousers.

Above, Rob Bouton, actor and owner of Queen Street Grocery, and Lasley Steever, director of public programs and special events at the Gibbes Museum, respectively sport a vintage two-tone tux and poppy-printed tent dress that was her grandmother's. Doesn't get much better than this!

Above is Andrew Steever, owner of Squarepoint Design, wearing brown, including a velvet blazer, ascot, trousers, and Rives's grandfather's shoes. What we love most is the white belt, which is a classic piece of style from this era, though Andrew actually made the belt himself when he was a teaching assistant at FIT. He's our male fashion hero of the evening! Rives Poe, instructor at Ashley Hall, is wearing a silk caftan that was her grandmother's, as well as a vintage sterling-silver chain paired with Mary Janes.

Joy Sims (L) sports a late 1960s–early 1970s look by Jessica Howard, a modern label offering a revival style. Katherine Doe (R) wears a handmade embossed faille floral frock that she found on Etsy. We love how she paired the purple stockings with the wine-colored Mary Jane wedges for a great look that would make all of the Brady girls jealous. Katherine is sporting the best of Cindy, Marsha, and Jan, for sure!.

Check out this fantastic example of a men's button up caftan from the 1960s worn by Anthony DelPorto (above). Katie Shayda (below), owner of KS Luxe Artistry, is wearing a vinatge Yves Saint Laurent silk scarf and Louis Vuitton bag, Alexis Bittar bangles, House of Harlow necklace, and a dress by Matilda Jane.

We love the two couples above, who are equipped with all things 1960s–1970s, including tie with cardigan, knee-high socks, patterned tights, vest with wide-collared shirt, AND their shoe game is on point! (No pun intended, but check out those multicolored suede flats!)  L–R: Dave Boring, Jena Clem (Gibbes Events & Rental Coordinator), Rebecca Sailor (Gibbes Curator of Education), and Dave Sailor.

Brown leisure suit with white leather loafers, electric tomato-red shift dress with covered-button wrist closure, double-breasted jacket with turtleneck, gold-coin necklace, and those belts?! This group has surely got it together! L–R: Magga and George Bullwinkel and friend.

We love the flight crew and random "passenger"! Unfortunately, they were so busy on the dance floor thatnwe did not get an opportunity to get on a first-name basis with them. Besides, how fun is the Mile High Club if you know someone's name? Groovy, Baby!

Charleston Fashion Week^®is just four days away. Watch as one woefully unprepared man does what it takes to prepare for the Charleston Grit + Yelp Charleston Confessional at CFW. 

Produced by Kevin Hanley/The Business Company

Charleston Fashion Week^® is one of my favorite Holy City events. The buzz about town for the past month has been, "What are you doing for Fashion Week? Are you going? What nights? Do you have your outfits planned? Where should we do happy hour? Where should we have dinner? Where is the afterparty? Can you walk there? How far is it?"

If you are a CFW veteran, you already know that you can’t possibly plan your outfits nightly because the weather in Charleston that surrounds the first day of spring is highly unpredictable. (Note: the combination of unpredictable weather and #chsfw makes it acceptable to wear fur in the South in March. After all, winter technically ends March 19). The reality is that you will probably not have time for happy hour because it took you too long to get ready, and it doesn’t matter how close the afterparty is—if you are wearing heels, it’s too far. That’s what a pedicab is for!

Night one at Charleston Fashion Week is always, for me, the most exciting. Tuesday night sold out, but not as fast as some of the other nights. For that reason, many attendees on Tuesday (and Wednesday, stay tuned…) are only coming that night. Of course, on Tuesday night, you will see those that are coming EVERY night—sponsors, contestants, participants. People ask me what Charleston Fashion Week^® is like. A five-day fashion event with a different vibe each night? My response is always, "It’s like a Grateful Dead concert…for fashion people…in Charleston." Drug of choice? Not brown acid, but champagne!

Tune in as Charleston Fashion Week^® attendees spill all their gritty little secrets in the Charleston Grit + Yelp Confessional, with host Jeremy McLellan.

Ike Behar's show last night was a perfect example of how to execute that. They put women in menswear, rolled cuffs, and even paired one of their impeccably tailored ensembles with a beat-up pair of vintage Nike shoes. I had a moment with the Behar brothers and Frederick Jabber (the man behind the Charleston store on King Street and one of the most stylish AND sexy men in town) and discussed. The difference between how Shep Rose of Bravo TV's Southern Charm pulls off Ike Behar is an entirely different thing than how he would do it. (See below.)

This man has class. THIS is how  you wear Ike Behar.

However, it's not just about the clothes; it's the attitude you need to pull it off. It doesn't matter if it's Forever 21 or Dolce & Gabbana—if you don't have the guts to own it, don't even go there. (See below: tattoos, neckties as bow ties, and an eight year old in head-to-toe sequins.)

On night three, it not only rained, it poured. Being fashionable on a rainy day outdoors is not the easiest thing to do. Luckily, there are a number of places on the Charleston Fashion Week^® campus at Marion Square to take shelter. My intern got to the media tent early last night, and when she met me to pick up my computer, I asked her, "How does it look out there?" She replied, "There's a lot of black, and people aren't really walking around." What this means is that a number of people were taking shelter at the Style Lounge (and bar) or at the VIP tent sponsored by Gwynn's. This made for a hell of a rowdy night once the rain let up and intermission happened. Thursday night was fun.

Now back to what people were wearing. There WAS a lot of black, and even one attendee, ShinHae Yoon, put it all on the line with her shirt that said "To Wear Black Or Not To Wear Black." Enough said. What you wear is always a choice. Like we said on our #CHSFW Day 1 Street Style post, clothing is your arsenal to the world. We also predicted unpredictable weather, and viola—there was rain! Thursday night required clever handling of the elements in many cases, and some people just wanted to brighten things up a little. Others just wanted to hang out and have a cocktail (or four).

Dark skies and the occasional downpour couldn't dampen the energy of CFW's third night. In this installment of the Chareston Grit + Yelp Charleston Confessional, we talk to Craig Conover of Southern Charm and some other lively visitors, plus get the lowdown on where CFW models shop around Charleston. 

Friday night at CFW was the first day of spring (plus the vernal equinox, super new moon, and total eclipse of the sun), sprinkled with rain and dried by sunshine and energetically attended by birds, bees, flowers and trees. Well, it was a heck of a way to end winter. Deer shed their antlers in the spring, as do animals their fur. Would there be a better time to wear jewelry made of antlers and give your fur or feathers a last go-around? Maybe break out a ridiculously bright color or floral print? Rock sparkles?  Cavortress says no. Some people embraced their inner casual Friday, while others visiting from out of town wore sunburns (from Tuesday) as an accessory turned souvenir (ouch!). Check out how who wore what last night.

On the last night of Charleston Fashion Week^®, Charleston Grit + Yelp Charleston Confessional guests talked catch-and-release dating and UFOs (unknown food objects), plus taught us a valuable lesson: "Don't shrink it and pink it." 

Mary Wutz is on a mission: a mission to change the way we view clothing.

Mary Wutz, herbalist & owner/designer of Seam Siren

As the owner and designer of Seam Siren, a clothing line based out of Maui, Mary sees clothing not just as decoration, but as a natural extension of the Earth and of our porous, permeable, absorbent bodies. Seam Siren visited Charleston, SC for this year's Charleston Fashion Week, where I caught up with the fashion designer at her event at Rebekah Jacob Gallery on King Street. At Saltwater Chef, we believe health is a way of life that comes from outdoor play, healthy and clean food intake from whole foods, healthy attitudes and relationships, and unity with both the Earth and with your own body. So when I heard about Wutz's line of organic clothing, I was intrigued. Refreshing mixed drinks made from Maui's gluten-free Ocean Vodka and Runa Clean Energy Hibiscus Juice were served, and Seam Siren's line of gorgeous organic clothing was on display. 

Mary, having studied and trained in Nepal, Peru, Ecuador, and Hawaii as a phytoherapist and herbalist, possesses a deep understanding of plant chemistry, and of the powerful healing and medicinal properties of plants and herbs. Mary is passionate about healing from nature. While abroad, the young designer learned of ancient cultures that would soak fabrics in anti-inflammatory turmeric for as a way to administer medicine. So, if our skin can absorb medicines, does it not work in the reverse, absorbing the toxic dyes, fumes, and fibers of modern synthetic clothing? This theory led Wutz down a path of studying natural plant dyes and fibers to create a business based on the idea of "clothing as medicine."

Mary spent several month with Rebecca Burgess, author of Harvesting Color and founder of Fibershed, a program that teaches sustainable agriculture and clothing production through the use of natural dyes and fibers. Many of Burgess's theories are based on Native American practices of making dyes from native plants. As Seam Siren explains, "We place our focus on using plants that have known medicinal properties, are considered invasive to the land, or can be grown sustainably. Each dye plant is hand harvested and processed into small-batch dye baths blending plant material with flower essences to create a truly unique and one of a kind concoction. Each dye bath is created with a set healing intention with the medicinal properties of the herbs and flower essences in mind."

Seam Siren uses Nepalese Nettle and Organic Cotton and organic plant dyes to create their clothing. "Our nettle fiber is harvested by hand, sourced from a women’s cooperative in the Sankhusaua district in the eastern Himalayas of Nepal, located at 6,000 feet in the jungle and a two-day trek from the closest town. This nettle is recognized as the highest quality nettle in the region." The clothing line employs Nepalese women from a cooperative, paying them a living wage and incorporating each individual into the life of the company. 

"Seam Siren aims to increase consumer awareness around the use of toxic residues in textiles and its negative health impact. Our skin is our largest organ and is permeable to substances that come in contact with it, including synthetic chemicals. Not only are the chemicals used in synthetic dyes poisonous to our bodies, they are also extremely harmful to the environment. They are often highly toxic, carcinogenic, or explosive and are being dumped into freshwater sources despite strict regulations. Natural dyes are available that do not have an effect on your health and the environment." Here are just a few:

• Red dyes: chokecherry, sumac, bloodroot, raspberries/blackberries
• Green dyes: Algae, sagebrush, stinging nettle, goldenrod
• Yellow dyes: turmeric, honey locust, lichens, yarrow
• Purple dyes: hairy coneflower, red mulberry, indian blanket

Seam Siren clothing can be purchased in Charleston at One Love Design on King Street.

Want to look hip at Fashion Week this year but don’t want to blow your paycheck? I’ve got you covered here with 4 trendy, fashionable looks that you can build from your own closet, a quick trip to goodwill, or from an inexpensive retailer. Hopefully you’re not camera shy—because people will be wanting to snap photos of your stylish get-up!

Ahh—the smell of fashion is in the air! With New York Fashion Week just wrapping up, I am getting fueled up with excitement for our own local production- Charleston Fashion Week 2016. This year is the 10th anniversary of CFW, which means they’ll be pulling out all the stops- top designers, guest judges, great model talents, sponsors, and more. What fun it is to dress to the nines, grab a cocktail from the tents, and watch art walk down the runway.  I’m here to help with the getting dressed part! After reviewing the runways and street styles from NY Fashion Week, I’ve pulled 4 looks to recreate (without the high price tag). Come with me to the thrift store and take another glimpse in your own closet to put together these cool, fashion-forward looks on a budget! 

Look 1: NYC Street Style—Layering fabrics and textures; leather, metallic, and fur.

 

Look 2: NYC Runway—Mid-Long Suede Fringe Skirt with Long Sleeved Top.

 

 

 

 

ON A DIME:

 

Top: I did not find this exact top while shopping, but found an awesome skin-revealing top that will go perfectly with a long skirt. Forever21—Double-Wrap Crop Top $17.90

 

 

 

 

Skirt: while I couldn’t find the exact color of the skirt, I found in incredible long fringe skirt in black with a slit... LOVE! 

 

 

Shoes: Though I love the look of her metallic sandals, I want to switch this up. I found these cool cobalt blue in the same style as the runway, but adds a pop of color! 

 

 

---

 

Look 3: NYC Runway—Monochromatic 3-piece

 

 

 

 

I love, love, love a monochromatic (shades of the same color) outfit. The army green shown in NYFW is great, but I wanted to do another example of a monochromatic look. (I encourage you to try this look in all shades of the rainbow!)

 

ON A DIME:

I found all of these great pieces at goodwill to create this Pewter monochromatic outfit! Mixing textures and shades of pewter together, this is one of my favorite looks. 

 

Jacket: This long duster is great!

 

Skirt: I found this great short silver skirt. Adds a nice element of metallic to the outfit.

 

Top: This textured tank had bits of gray and silver in it.

 

 

Shoes: Chunky heels in the same color family. I found these at Forever21.com for $34.90.

 

 

---

 

Look 4: NYC Runway—Effortless Chic Sportswear

 

 

ON A DIME: I scored big at the thrift store for these finds. This outfit is something you can probably mix and match from your closet as well.

 

Top: If you don’t already have a plaid bottom-up at home, there were plenty to choose from at the goodwill. Remember to roll the sleeves.

 

Skirt: Found this great black mid-length skirt with a slit. The slit is key as it give this sporty look a little sex appeal. 

 

Belt: Goodwill has GREAT belts! I found this perfect brown leather belt to tie the outfit together.

 

 

 

Shoes: Try to match the belt with a brown heel.  I found these cute heeled sandals with some decorative tassels that would dress this up a bit at h&m.com 

 

 

 

 

---

I know that each thrift store experience will be completely different, but thats the fun in thrifting! The goal is to be original and creative. These photos that I pulled from NY Fashion Week are amazing inspiration, but you can let your imagination run a bit and if you see something that stands out, go for it! You have a variety to choose from when you’re thrifting, so find what works best for you while mixing and matching- it doesn’t have to look exactly like the inspiration photo. Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful time at Charleston Fashion Week 2016!

This year Charleston Magazine celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Charleston Fashion Week.   With Spring is just around the corner, the weather couldn't be better at a balmy 80 degrees lowering to 70 at night making for a 'wear whatever you want' kind of night to open the 5 day event.  The weather gave attendees permission to dress up or down, show skin or not. Many people that caught our eye during street style were mixing both high and low pieces to put their looks together.
