Last Saturday I joined a group of fellow gussied-up folks for an evening called Inspired Elegance, a fashion show fund-raiser for Tacoma Art Place, which took place at Stadium Bistro.

This night consisted of five amazing courses of fine food and wine and elegant fashions designed by students from the Tacoma School of the Arts and other local women who worked with established local designers Daniel Blue of Loyalty Conglomerate and Lisa Fruichantie of Transcendence Design. — Natasha Gorbachev
