Annie Larson gets Madewell

Despite having a relatively low profile in the Twin Cities, local knitwear designer Annie Larson has been enjoying renown for her bright, early-'90s-Espirit-esque machine knits under her brand ALL for Everyone. Most recently she has been working on an order of hats and scarves for national retailer Madewell -- her first order for such a sizable retailer -- which will be available in select stores and online this fall.

Fashion's Night Out

For the second year, Minnesota is joining in on Fashion's Night Out festivities. The international event was started by Vogue in 2009 to shine the spotlight on retailers hosting in-store, one-night-only events and specials. The local headquarters looks to be Galleria, with more than 30 participating stores, plus Neiman Marcus, Macy's Minneapolis, the locally owned natural beauty store Intelligent Nutrients and select Mall of America stores. Visit fashionsnightout.com and galleriaedina.com for full listings of stores and events.
