Amongst widely publicized, quoted, and re-quoted criticism about fashion in Albuquerque and its dubious lack of, 113- year-old Fashion Retail Giant Nordstroms is expanding its reach to Albuquerque, NM at Winrock Mall. I couldn’t wait to get the scoop from Naiomi Tobis at the Nordstroms HQ Media Department in Seattle, WA about the companies’ excitement and motivation to join our community. It’s been a growing trend for awhile: high-end labels like Guess, Lucky, BCBG, and Michael Kors have been trickling into the area for quite some time, creating jobs and opportunity as well as quenching our thirst for haute couture. Steven Cuomo – the Executive Producer of Santa Fe Fashion Week – said, “With the influx of people who have moved to Albuquerque for its film industry, as well as for others like myself who have previously lived in larger cities – there is a craving to get their hands…

Hello Again! I had planned on writing posts daily while i was at #MAGICLV. I had planned on making regular social media posts to keep everyone posted on what we were doing. I had planned on doing this and speaking with designers, buyers, and sponsors and seeing every bit of the world-class fashion trade-show that there was, all while attending pertinent classes about the business of fashion while I was there. roflmfao. So that certainly didn’t happen, but what did happen was nothing short of incredible. I was able to take a few breathtaking pictures of the desert on the way. When I finally got to see the Las Vegas strip at night I was moved to tears. I fell in love with the realness and romance of the downtown area where I saw a happy-faced musician banging away on some paint cans and other odds n ends with the…
#SFFW is co-hosting a party @LilyBarLV @Bellagio w/ @syrupswimwear and @allieolliestore – @magicmarketweek #MAGICLV pic.twitter.com/JkCfQxCFkI — Amanda Mayhem (@theamandamayhem) February 15, 2014 I’ve been firing up the ‘ol twitter account and daydreaming about our roadtrip to the MAGIC Tradeshow in Las Vegas! I’m looking forward to many twitters, tweets, FB updates, and Instagram photos… probably with a nice vignette filter from my phone. I soooooo can’t wait to feast my eyes on the latest and hottest fashions – considering that not only is my ca-rEEr in fashion, but this trip will be my first REAL trip to Las Vegas, Nevada – what a dream! I can’t wait to tell the world every juicy detail, and live every beautiful moment that presents itself. I just know I’m going to meet so many wonderful people and connect with just the right buyers to sit their butts in my Santa Fe Fashion Week…
Now that our second year of Santa Fe Fashion Week (SSFW) is in our rear view mirrors, there has been much buzz around the office about Savvy Boutique – our feature designer last year – and what direction they’ll follow with their line in 2014. In order to whet our appetite after Savvys’ spectacular 2013 showing my assistant, Amanda and I, decided to take our curiosity on the road and took a trip to the historic Nob Hill area, located in Albuquerque at the corner of Central and Wellesley, nearby Two Fools Tavern. Also lovingly known as RT. 66, Nob Hill boasts a variety of architecture from its already hip beginnings on through the great post-war era. Well known for its association with Route 66, Americana lovers and classic car enthusiasts alike fall in love with the still-brightly lit neon signs, classic cars, and the pleasant urban feel. Many can…
