Designers
prove fashion careers can thrive outside
big cities

SEPT.
28, 2009 -- Each September as the temperatures begin to cool, excitement
in the fashion world heats up with the start of fashion week.

Web
sites like Style.com
and WWD.com update
their content by the minute, bringing the public the future of fashion.
New York, London, Milan and Paris are swarmed by models, celebrities
and every other fashion-lover who can finagle a ticket to one of
the coveted runway shows. For most of the population, this fashion
fever must be quelled with TV and Internet.
As
technology continues to make the world more connected, it becomes
increasingly feasible for fashion businesses to thrive outside of
these metropolitan areas. Charleston-based designers are finding
new forums for showcasing their talent and proving that you no longer
need to reside in Manhattan to run a successful design business.
Now, thanks in large part to the Internet, it is possible for us
to access the resources we need without uprooting our lives. In
short, we can live where we love and do what we love.

Dockside
Fashion Show
Three
local fashion labels – Sarah
Maxwell, Troubadour,
and One
Love by Rachel Gordon – have teamed up for the first
Dockside Fashion Show to benefit the Charleston-based Water
Missions International, a nonprofit that provides safe,
clean water to people in developing countries and disaster
areas. Models will walk the runway at 5 p.m. Oct. 3 at the
Dockside Pier between the S.C. Aquarium and the Maritime Center
at 330 Concord St. An after-party will be held at Shine, a
restaurant at the corner of King and Line streets.
In addition
to fashions, the show will feature jewelry and handbags from
Add Libb Designs; Theodosia Jewelry; Cavortress by Julie Wheat;
Library: Archives of Fashion; and Dee Ruel. Runway looks will
be available for purchase at a trunk show scheduled for 5
p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 7 at Shine.
Fashion
show tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. VIP tickets
are available for $40 and include end-of-the-pier seating
with access to a private bar. Advance tickets are on sale
at J.Paulz, Shine, and Salon Capelli.

From
the wrought-iron gates of Legare Street to the sand dunes of Sullivan’s
Island, there is no shortage of inspiration in this beautiful area.
The talent and initiative have always been here, but through new
outlets such as reality television and social networking sites,
people all over the country have access to our designs and our ideas.
Charleston’s local media have also played a large part in broadcasting
local talent; almost every publication is home to a fashion/style
editor.
Many
Charleston designers have cut their teeth in the New York fashion
scene. Local designers have not only attended the most prominent
schools and programs but have also worked with some of the largest
household names in the business. They have the same knowledge as
their peers, and, as we have all seen recently on “Project
Runway,” they can hold their own against designers from all
over the country.
The
Charleston fashion community continues to thrive despite the downturn
in the economy. Charleston Magazine’s Charleston Fashion Week
(CFW) gets bigger and better every year, with international attendance
and a continually expanding Emerging Designer Competition that gives
up-and-coming designers an opportunity to showcase their collections
to the entire community. When Googling “Fashion Week,”
CFW is one of the top hits. Thanks in large part to this event,
Charleston is now being called the “fashion capital of the
South.”
Local
restaurants and art galleries have opened their doors to the design
community for countless runway presentations, trunk shows and other
fashion-related events. For the past three years, Chai’s Lounge
has hosted the Local Color Fashion Show, an event that showcases
designers while benefiting a local charity. Eye Level Art Gallery
just recently held Charleston’s second Style Swap, a recession-friendly
fashion event where attendees bring an unwanted (yet stylish) item
from their own closets to exchange for someone else’s. Such
events have also allowed for collaboration with local jewelry and
handbag designers who are also finding success in the area.
Rather
than mimicking the competition that makes Project Runway so entertaining,
members of the Charleston fashion community are supportive and encouraging.
Many of you may have noticed the Pop Up Shop that appeared on Upper
King Street during the Spoleto Festival this year. Local clothing
and accessory designers, as well as artists and even an interior
decorator, teamed up to create a temporary storefront, much to the
success of the participants and the delight of local shoppers.
Through
all this, though the season finales may come and go, Charleston
has proven that its fashionable reputation is here to stay.
Sarah
Acker is a Charleston resident and designer who produces Sarah Maxwell,
a line of ladies fashions described as “fun, feminine designs
with an unexpected edge.” Prior to establishing Sarah Maxwell
last year, Acker studied fashion in Florence, Italy, and worked
for designers Anna Sui and Alexander Wang in New York City.

Riley
pushing anti-crime measures
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
CharlestonCurrents.com
SEPT.
28, 2009 -- Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. is pushing a package
of legislation that seeks to give police more tools to keep bad
guys off the streets.
“We
have some people who are arrested and out on bail for 13 different
offenses,” Riley told the Rotary Club of Charleston this week.
He went on to highlight how a person out on bail later was accused
of killing someone.
“For the safety of the community, you shouldn’t get out
on bond” if you’ve got a history of violence, Riley said.
“We need more tools in the toolbox to be able to deal with
crime and gangs,” said Reba Campbell of the Municipal Association
of South Carolina. “His proposals take a proactive approach
and we’ve been very supportive of that.”
Riley has been pushing legislation that will allow courts to deny
bail to someone who is arrested for a violent offense while already
out on bond for a different offense.
Riley |
“The
bill protects our communities by allowing the court to deny bail
if no conditions can reasonably assure the safety of any person
or the community if the offender is released,” according to
a written explanation in the mayor’s legislative crime packet.
Currently,
judges can deny bond if they think someone poses a threat to the
community, but in reality courts often don’t, according to
an explanation of S. 6, a bill currently in a Senate subcommittee.
While the idea merits consideration, the state needs to be cautious
about “overfixing” a problem for the whole state that
may only be a problem in Charleston, warned state Sen. Brad Hutto,
D-Orangeburg.
Another of Riley’s proposals passed the Senate earlier this
year, but may face more difficulty in the House, Hutto said. The
bill, S. 191, would allow police to conduct warrantless searches
of people on probation and parole in an effort to stem criminal
activity.
“It is well established that criminal defendants who return
to the same environment as before are likely to repeat their criminal
activity,” according to a position paper on the bill. “This
bill is aimed at reducing recidivism by attaching as a condition
of granting probation or parole that a criminal defendant consent
to warrantless searches of his/her person or property by law enforcement
officers, and probation and parole officers.
“If criminal defendants know that they can be searched day
or night by law enforcement officers, they are less likely to engage
in criminal activity.”
While such searches in California have been found constitutional
by the U.S. Supreme Court, there are questions about the rights
of non-parolees or non-probationers who might get caught up in a
search. What if, for example, police conducted a warrantless search
on someone’s home when a parolee was inside? Wouldn’t
that invade the owner’s property in violation of the Constitution?
Wouldn’t such a law also tend to create an environment for
potential harassment, even though the proposed law says the statute
couldn’t be used for harassment?
“It could be used abusively with some police officers,”
Columbia attorney Tom Turnipseed admitted, adding that people on
parole or probation didn’t have their full rights back when
they were allowed to return to a community.
Other features of Riley’s crime-fighting package include stopping
convicted criminals of possessing handguns or assault weapons; a
new offense for possessing a gun while selling, making or possessing
drugs for distribution; a mandatory minimum sentence for anyone
convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill; and a truth-in-sentencing
measure that requires convicts to serve at least 85 percent of sentences.
State legislators need to take appropriate steps to ensure that
communities are safe and that police need to have to tools they
need. But lawmakers also need to ensure that safety concerns are
properly balanced with privacy and constitutional issues. What may
work for California may not necessarily work for South Carolina.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Female benevolent
societies
Female
benevolent societies rose to prominence in South Carolina and the
nation in the years between the American Revolution and the Civil
War. Voluntary in nature, these societies frequently emerged from
existing antebellum reform groups or from soldiers’ aid societies
of the Civil War. By the 1790s the first female benevolent societies
appeared in communities across the nation to augment efforts at
relief for the poor that were conducted by local governments. Dominated
by women from the middle and upper classes of society, female benevolent
societies not only helped the poor but also were an outgrowth of
the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, which sparked
a renewed interest in helping the less fortunate.
Among
the best-known and most active female benevolent societies in antebellum
South Carolina was the Ladies Benevolent Society of Charleston.
Formed in 1813 and inspired by the motto “I was sick and you
visited me,” the society initially provided home health care
to the sick and poor of the city in response to the effects of the
War of 1812. The leadership was provided by Sarah Hopton Russell
and her sister, Mary Christiana Hopton Gregorie, women of means
who had the time to dedicate themselves to charity work. Members
of the society were well connected, from the upper class, and tended
to be Episcopalians. Careful not to become an auxiliary to a men’s
organization, members of the Ladies Benevolent Society controlled
their own finances, as is evident by their charter stating that
the treasurer had to be an unmarried woman. ...
By
the 1820s women’s associations successfully competed for charitable
money with established men’s groups, such as the South Carolina
Society. Although charity was seen as women’s work, men controlled
the public policies and most of the institutions themselves. The
religious rather than the political aspects of charity opened the
door for women to become active participants in society. By 1861
the Ladies Benevolent Society was raising $4,000 annually, and its
meetings were held in public spaces traditionally occupied by men,
such as the commissioners’ conference room of the Charleston
Orphan House.
Even
before the first shots of the Civil War, women began transforming
their female benevolent societies into soldiers’ aid societies.
In Charleston groups such as the Soldiers’ Relief Society and
the Ladies Charleston Volunteer Aid Society began rolling bandages
in January 1861. Within months South Carolina’s women had formed
150 aid groups. “Wayside hospitals” popped up along railroad
lines to care for wounded soldiers being sent home. … After
the war many of these societies transformed themselves into Ladies’
Memorial Associations that commemorated the Confederate dead.
Nineteenth-century
women were able to make charity work their “career,” but
society deemed their work as an extension of women’s roles
as wives and mothers. In this way, female benevolent societies and
other voluntary associations gave women the opportunity to participate
in public life without challenging the social and legal boundaries
of the women’s private sphere. Female benevolent societies
and, later, women’s associations compiled valuable skills that
would prepare women for a full and active political life, culminating
with the winning of woman suffrage in 1920.
