Austin Fashion Week Kickoff at DeanFredrick

What’s a trend-spotter to do?

Like style reporter Marques Harper, I’m finding the first wondrous Austin Fashion Week difficult to digest.

Hundreds of events, often at the same time. No matter. We face this every spring and fall during music and film festival time.

My first visitation was to drop by DeanFredrick, the chic jeweler improbably ensconced on East Fifth Street between Studio 501 and Progress coffeehouse.

I found a snappy crowd there, some leafing through catalogs for the company’s serial sparklers, others posing for fashion photographs.

Michael Palombo of Mulberry supplied the edibles. Graham Wilkison sang and strummed softly in a corner. Claudia Blanchette invited me to the Austin Hand-Made re-opening on Thursday. (Now that will be a busy night!) And I met Dean Fredrick, whom I promised to revisit, when the crowds from Fashion Week dissipate.
