Clothes at Eleven

Eleven is at 122 S. Gay St. (across the street from Nama). I passed by the other day and stopped inside. Co-owner, Peter Chang, tells me they're currently having a "soft opening" while they get their stock in and work out details. Peter mentioned that a lot of the designers are LA-based. All of the dresses I saw looked LAish fabulous: short, shiny, and stylish. Most I saw were under $100. They also have some jewelry and purses with more items arriving soon.



They also carry men's clohting and designer sneakers on consignment. Stylish sneakers: yes! There are shelves full of shrink wrapped kicks just waiting for the hip throngs of Knoxville. I'm not a sneaker fetish person and did not check their prices, but I'd assume they're reasonable and competitive.

That block of Gay St. is ripped up right now for construction--be a good civic fashionista and patronize this young store so it can have a steady start. Send me photos of anything you purchase there and I'll post it here.

Shelagh























Shelagh approached me and said, "Look what I've got in my shirt." It was a sure-enough-real-live-baby-duck. Wow. Apparently abandoned by its biological mother, Duckling was traveling well between Shelagh's boobs. We wish them both the best.

Jeremiah























Jeremiah is wearing Christian Dior shoes and shirt, with overalls by Diesel. He cited his "redneck grandfather" as a fashion influence. I am always impressed by men in Knoxville wearing clothing other than polo shirts and cargo shorts. Jeremiah's accessories score him major points. Are those glasses prescription?

Is it time for the Knoxville Youth Fashion Show? Maybe a pagent? Let's take our cue from the fabulous Misha Calvert who organized The Mr. and Mrs. Williamsburg Pagent. More about the event here.

Ah ha.

Liz























Liz got her dress at TJ MaXXX and wore it to a very formal rehearsal dinner. Yes! She said it reminded her of Rami Kashou, of Project Runway fame. It reminds me of the days when everyone was awesome and glamorous all the time
