When you walk into the office of MOTHER Model Management, you are instantly transported into their world. Mood music plays on surround sound, like it would on the set of a photo shoot, and the walls are lined with framed fashion magazine covers, namely Vogue, that feature their clients. I sat with Mary Clarke, co-owner with her husband Jeff, to discuss their milestone anniversary celebrating 25 years in business and 10 years producing their TRIBUTE fashion show, which takes place November 19 at new venue, The Hawthorn, on Washington Avenue.

The Saint Louis Fashion Fund (SLFF) in partnership with the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University brought legendary fashion designer, Diane von Furstenberg to St. Louis on October 12. She filled the day, meeting with many locals, fashion students, designers, and patrons of STLFF. Mayor Tishaura Jones also presented Diane with a proclamation declaring "Diane von Furstenberg Day in St. Louis."
