Arcade Revival

The Westminster Arcade in downtown Providence has sat vacant since 2008. I know I’m not the only person who wondered why. A grand, imposing Greek Revival structure, the Arcade — best known as the oldest shopping mall in the country — was one of many local businesses that couldn’t fight the economic downturn in 2008. Renovations were planned, but didn’t go through. It’s not like the Arcade just shuttered its doors and faded into the recession landscape. Prefaced by a vacant slab of concrete (a rarity in downtown Providence), the Arcade is one of the first buildings to greet walkers, bikers, drivers and bus riders entering onto Westminster Street from Memorial, setting a grim tone for a still-flourishing downtown way. Since its closure in...

StyleWeek Day 6: Karla Marie, Brianna Moon and Harpy by Jen Greeke

The second to last night of StyleWeek Providence featured a mix of whimsical and wearable styles. Attendees were transported from a winter wonderland before heading back in time to the 1930s and 1940s. And unlike some collections where the theme can be too literal and weigh down the looks, the styles in Friday night's lineup used fun details to get across their message without taking it too far.

StyleWeek Day 5: Karen Sabag, Candice Wu and Toni Lyn Spaziano

Last night’s Providence StyleWeek shows featured something for everyone. From curve-hugging evening dresses and bigger than life ball gowns to military meets biker-girl designs and “Mad Men”-like looks, each show had a personality of its own.

StyleWeek Day 4: Out-of-this-world Designs Rock the Runway

Designers Nicole Lebreux and Marcel Plante took fashion buffs back in time and to faraway lands at StyleWeek Providence Wednesday night. Egyptian pottery inspired Lebreux’s Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, and the influence was evident in the playful geometric lines and zigzags on each piece. Not only are her designs complex, but they look incredibly comfortable; Lebreux makes use of organic-knit fabric and zipper-free designs. While the entire collection is flirty and ready-to-wear, here are a few of our runway favorites: Marcel Plante’s collection, “Doll Boys,” crosses gender boundaries with special-occasion works of fashion/art hewed from silks and animal skins. According to his designer bio, Plante channeled the underworld culture of Weimar...

The Fancy Feet At StyleWeek Providence

Do you linger over displays of stilettos even though you already have a closet full of shoes? Or do you just love someone who does? An array of shoes have been on display both on the runway at StyleWeek Providence and among show attendees. We asked people who attended the show Tuesday night about their fabulous footwear. Here's what they had to say: StyleWeek Providence continues tonight with shows by designers Nicole Lebreaux and Marcel Plante.
