Have you cast your vote for the San Francisco Fashion Awards, the fast-approaching annual event honoring local fashion movers and shakers? Recognize your favorites by casting your ballot by Sunday at 6 p.m.
When it comes to awards and San Francisco fashion, we’re of the mind that there isn’t one best or brightest or super-amazing-untouchable-stand-out winner in any category – these days, there are just too many worthy players creating unique apparel and accessories and supporting the fast-growing local fashion scene through photography, makeup, event production and styling. That said, awards are fun to give (and receive) and help highlight the wealth of talent we have here in the City by the Bay.
We encourage you to vote to make your opinion and your style preferences known. The more diverse the names and nominees thrown into the mix, the better the awards event taking place on Aug. 29, 2010 will represent the San Francisco fashion community.
We’ll be filling out our ballot in a few. Cast yours here.
