by Stephen Cuomo, Executive Producer Santa Fe Fashion Week Here Stephen Interviews Dara of Runway Apparel in Albuquerque on what she’s looking for – as a boutique owner – when looking at a new label/designer for her private boutique.

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…
