You raised many important points that I think about frequently and not just in relation to these specific awards, but with the local fashion community as a whole. There is so much diversity in the fashion talent rooted in the Bay Area that it sometimes overwhelms me - I would like to have seen more of that diversity represented in the nominees. But regardless, I respect any effort to support and promote local designers and artists in San Francisco - it's a tough place, in many ways, to be a designer. Keep up the thoughtful, insightful work you're doing on your blog (and thanks for reading SF Indie Fashion - that rocks!) I also appreciate your honest and thoughtful take on the awards.

It's not a bad start, but the fashion "industry" in SF is hard to pin down. There's not a lot of big $ or corporate sponsorship for these things, which is probably good and bad. I had trouble watching the fashion show considering the quality of the models. Most, if not all, of the girls do these things for free (upon the promise of "exposure") and are untrained. They looked pained, sad, often obviously self-conscious. As you know, it's a helluva tough biz to be in, for designers, models, producers alike in this city. I appreciate your honest take on the event. That's why we <3 you. So much more work needs to be done, it’s true. It’s not a bad start, but the fashion “industry” in SF is hard to pin down.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I indeed thought long and hard about different aspects of Stellar and you've touched on all of it here. Complicated by my respect and admiration of SO MANY of the Designers represented on the nomination lists. And not any certainty that I could put my own work above so many others' that I respect, enjoy, and OWN! And that given Visionary Award I was heartfelt surprise and love and glowing thanks. Glowing. Thank you for this. Yes. Yes. Yes.
