Holiday Fashion Guide - 2005

[December 7th, 2005] When it comes to fashion—to put a spin on a certain Southern gentleman's infamous phrase—frankly, my dears, we do give a damn.

Now we may not spill as much ink about it on the pages as we once did, but that doesn't mean we've forgotten about you, this city's faithful fashion followers, those of you who obsess over the contents of your closets as if they were tea leaves.

That's why we're trying something different with this year's Holiday Fashion Guide . Instead of dissecting a family unit into the sartorial equivalent of a jigsaw puzzle, we asked our exceptionally talented team to gather together some of the hottest looks for the coolest of seasons for men, women, kids and, yes, even horses . Alongside all the pretty photographs of up-and-coming Q6 models wearing garments from a plethora of Portland's finest clothing establishments, we've asked our writers to comment on the comings and goings of Portland's happening fashion scene.

Enjoy.
