It is most definitely a September of many silver linings. Through the pandemic, local businesses have been innovative in their offerings, and in turn, are inspiring individuals to be creative. Whether it’s people finding their inner chefs, giving themselves a fashion makeover, or embracing their newly-found green thumbs, these last few months have seen limitless creativity and ingenuity. 

In true 2020 fashion, Pacific Place has adapted its annual fall style celebration to meet customers at home with a line-up of interactive, online experiences full of inspiration for the closet, home, and soul. Join a DIY Painted Denim Workshop, peek behind the scenes of Seattle’s fashion influencers with virtual closet tours, find favorite fashion films, and more.

“It’s no secret that many of us are in need of some color and creativity in our closets and in our homes,” said Stephanie Heick, vice president marketing, retail services at Madison Marquette which owns and manages Pacific Place. “With this lineup of events and offerings, we hope to connect the community with a sense of comradery, and possibly inspire a new look for the home, beauty regimen, or wardrobe.”
