Brooke Bennett, a Gig Harbor High School student, Tacoma Community College Running Start attendee, and all around nice person can now add another item to her resume: professional fashionista.
Bennett’s styles were highly regarded at this past Saturday's “House of Kubla Khan â€" Tacoma Indie Fashion Showcase†event at Indochine, where three of her items paraded the runway, clinging to their models.
While her upholstery fabric, pheasant print short jacket was decidedly cool, it was the white with red-floral-print dress that had a number of us drooling, including the girl who modeled the dress for her.
But all reports were Bennett didn’t want to sell the dress since it was the first one she’d made.
My own first item made, a bad Barbie dress of Kleenex, never made any runways, nor did it survive its first disrobing. If I recall correctly that was pretty much the last clothing item I ever designed and put on a model.
Props go to Bennett for holding it together in a crazy busy time, for churning out great indie fashion, and for a professional and polished product. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
