Stella McCartney Visits Seattle’s Nordstrom Flagship Store
British designer Stella McCartney paid a visit to downtown Seattle’s Nordstrom flagship store just days before the debut of her inaugural menswear collection
On November 3, British designer Stella McCartney paid a visit to downtown Seattle’s Nordstrom flagship store just days before the debut of her inaugural menswear collection. The line borrows signature elements of McCartney’s ready to wear for women, such as bold embroidery and an effortless fit, with pieces inspired by the designer’s male influences, namely her father, iconic musician and Beatles front man Sir Paul McCartney, and husband Alasdhair Willis, currently the creative director of Hunter.
McCartney told us, “For me, when I think about the Stella man of course I reflect on the men in my life. I look to my husband, my father, to my friends, to people that have inspired me; artists, musicians, filmmakers, you know, great men in the world, both historically and today, to tomorrow.”
McCartney debuted the line in London just across the street from the Abbey Road recording studio, made famous by her father. The 24-look collection walks the line between classic cuts and a modern edge, with pieces ranging from gentleman’s overcoats to football scarves all sustainably designed consistent with the designer’s cruelty-free creed.

WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks.

At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it.
