8 years in business and we're just getting started

In October of 2018, Gossip & Glamour turned 8 years old. It’s hard to believe that just 8 years ago I took the leap from the corporate fashion world to jump in to the great unknown. Turns out, it was the BEST decision I’ve ever made. During my years in corporate America I spent time working on runway shows in Seattle to slowly build my network and learn more about Seattle designers and boutiques. I launched a style blog called Seattle Boutique Blogspot and most importantly, I served as Regional Director for Fashion Group International to better understand the inner-workings of the local fashion community. Armed with two fashion degrees, a background in retail, and experience in global sourcing and production, I launched Gossip & Glamour and never looked back.

Over the last 8 years, Gossip & Glamour has had the distinct privilege of working with hundreds of local fashion brands in the city to share their stories, help structure their marketing and PR plans, and celebrate their success. We’re just getting started and we can’t wait to count down 8 more years of fashion fun! To celebrate the occasion, we’re looking back over some of our favorite client memories and collaborations.

Here’s what we shared with fans to celebrate our 8th anniversary:
