WHO SAYS high style only graces the glamorous runways of Gay Paree and New York City? WHO SAYS THAT?!? Why, men and women decked out in the haute couture bounty of a thousand Asian sweatshops can be seen strolling down Seattle's avenues every day.

For example, our roving photographers discovered this lovely lassie relaxing at Linda's Tavern. Taking an aesthetic cue from Beck, Joseph Cornell, and countless at-risk elementary school students, this striking pile of style knows that collage is the only valid art form of the 21st century--and collage she does! From her Meg Ryan 'do to her True Value wristwear, from her tasteful piercings to her punched-raccoon eye spackle, this young lady's inspired ensemble gets its message across loud and clear: "No, I will NOT be your bridesmaid!"

For this week, that's fashion!
