Styled Child: Meet Seattle Kidswear Brand Rapozza
From a basement startup to a Pacific Place boutique, the family-run label is making colorful children's clothing with staying power.
For Rapozza, a locally owned and designed children’s clothing brand, the phrase “moving on up” describes the company’s evolution in more ways than one. Founded by Brenda Palomino in 2023, Rapozza launched from a basement with online sales, then jumped to local makers markets, and most recently, opened its first brick-and-mortar location in Pacific Place….

Every Dress Tells a Story
Dhivya Balasubramanian’s new collection reworks fashion classics using Indian textiles.
For Dhivya Balasubramanian, the story often starts with a sari. Sometimes a client brings one in, folded carefully and full of family history. Other times, Balasubramanian pulls from the collection she has gathered on trips to India. Either way, the fabric usually comes first. At her Queen Anne studio, it might become a gown, a…
Capitol Hill Gets a Fashion Walk
The inaugural Pike Pine Social brings more than 50 businesses together for a weekend of style, food, music, and neighborhood fun.
Capitol Hill, like most Seattle neighborhoods, rewards a loose plan. You wander into a shop, follow music down the block, stop for a drink, admire a jacket in a window that you definitely do not need, and end up at the park watching an impromptu soccer game. That spirit is behind Pike Pine Social, a…

The Best Outfit Might Already Be in Your Closet
LAYERED: Style in Motion turns previously owned pieces from Seattle closets into an Earth Day runway show.

Tough Stuff
Why we should teach boys it’s okay to be sad.
I was 13 years old when my father died. It happened on a school night, and I remember my mom waking me up along with my younger brother and sister. “He’s gone,” she said, bringing us out of our bedrooms. The news was back-breakingly sad. It was not, however, sudden. My father, whom we all…
Just Do the Camp
It’s not about loving it. It’s about showing up.
At piano camp they practice for three hours a day. That’s the part my 14-year-old daughter remembers when she’s getting ready to go again this year. She puts off packing for the week-long overnight camp because she’s nervous. She tries not to be, because it’s her second year, and you’re not supposed to be nervous…
