Project Runway

La Cañada resident Brittany Tom took her interest in fashion to new heights when three of her creations recently were showcased in runway shows at Art Center College of Design’s south campus in Pasadena. A junior from Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, Tom was one of several area teen designers to take the Saturday High class geared especially to high school students.

Over 15 of California's top public officials are walking the runaway for The Coalition for Clean Air's fourth annual fashion show, "Clean Air. . . Always in Fashion" at the Wilshire Ebell Club on Nov. 16 at 6:30 p.m. The event comes on the heels of the new state legislation mandating a 25 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and features representatives modeling the latest eco-friendly garments in support of the Coalition's programs....

Boo-hoo, summer is over. The Labor Day weekend always signals the end of carefree days and getting back to school and business.
