San Francisco Independent Fashion
Designer Suzi Johnson may currently call Portland home, but she made the first sweater in what would become the coveted Souchi collection in San Francisco, so we’ll happily still claim her as our own.
Best known for impossibly soft cashmere sweaters and hand-crafted knits, Johnson brings Souchi back to the City by the Bay this weekend for a trunk show at Metier.
Peep all the details below…
This weekend, Thread returns to San Francisco and, by the looks of it, the show taking place on Saturday and Sunday at Fort Mason is going to be bigger and better than ever.

We were so taken with these images, that we had to gobble them up from The Dish on Fashion Facebook page and serve them up over here. In the third installment of the ongoing event series from the W Hotel, longtime local designer Allysun Maria Dutra on Thursday shows off the daring creations she constructs under the label Kittinhawk – all of which are completely handmade from recycled materials, discarded textiles and found objects.
If you’re able to score a table (or glom on to someone who’s already snagged a rezzie), you can dine amid Dutra’s designs on Thursday at the hotel’s XYZ Bar and Restaurant. A table-side fashion show is on the menu, and Kittinhawk apparel and accessories will be available for purchase.
Want to see more of Kittinhawk? In addition to visiting the designer’s web site, peep this video of her work on the runway at the Charity Fashion Show.

Bat your lashes at the latest from Colleen Mauer on Thursday night during a trunk show at Inner Richmond interior and floral design destination Fleur*T. Feel free to issue come-hither looks and leave with pretty finds you’ve only just met. Rest assured, they’ll still look every bit as good in the morning.
