PATTERN INDY MAGAZINE PARTY

It is crazy to think that Spring 2012, I was working on my first interview for this new project called Pattern Magazine. I was a regular weekly contributor to Patternindy.com, and was pretty excited to see the first issue of the print version of Pattern. Fast forward to this past weekend, and the beautiful Spring 2014 spring issue was being celebrated. The magazine is now distributed across the US and available in six other countries.

I am still a continuing contributor to Patternindy.com, and a full time supporter of all things Pattern. Pattern is the reason I started really taking menswear writing serious. I started with Tumblr because I didn't want to have to write anything. I wasn't finding anything inspiring for myself, and found that Tumblr was an easy way to pull content together for me to look at when I had time. Plus the commitment level is pretty low with Tumblr.

I later received a Facebook message from Polina Osherov. She was sharing with me about a local community of fashion centered individuals. She wanted to know if I would be interested in writing for Pattern, at the time it was called Indianapolis Fashion collective. After a few back and forth messages, it was settled that I would contribute content to Pattern on a weekly basis. I had no idea that a jump into the blogging pond would lead me to being a published fashion writer in a few publications, and my fashion baby Social Club 19.


As I looked around the gallery hosted by Herron School of Art and Design, It was excited to see that the Indy fashion community is growing and getting noticed in some pretty cool ways. I can't even believe some of the opportunities I have had.

Since I am a slacker on making sure I bring a photographer along for the adventures, I want to encourage you to check out my friend Madison Hanulak of Preppy Guide to Life. She blogged about the party. Her husband and personal photographer was able to capture a great group pick of some of my favorite Indy fashion crew.
