Fashion: Tender Cuts at Cliché
Tender Cuts at Cliché
A fashion education is never complete without a stint working in retail. That's the lesson that up-and-coming designer Emily Bryngelson must have learned, having worked at local boutique Cliché since May. It turns out that while the shopgirl and sometime model has been studying apparel design at the University of Minnesota, she's also been crafting her debut line, Tender Cuts. The retro-tinged collection quietly hit the store last week, and not only is it on-trend and well constructed, but it offers enough unique touches to make Bryngelson one to watch.
Luehmann at June
The Twin Cities lost a unique gem when Laurie Luehmann closed her creepy/charming shop, Luehmann, this year. The antiquarian shop, perhaps best described as "Ralph Lauren meets Charles Darwin," gained national exposure after a write-up in Lucky magazine for its blend of taxidermied critters, gold-dipped animal skulls and other historical oddities. For one night only, Luehmann returns with its bevy of treasures for a trunk show at resale boutique June. (6-9 p.m. Thu. 3406 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls. 612-354-3970.)
