If you are anything like me, fashion is a passion. I have a weekly ritual of brunch, the latest fashion magazines, and re-watching seasons of either Sex and the City or Gossip Girl. I have an appetite for those classic finds that can take an outfit from “Oh” to “Oh La La”. It could be the right pair of shoes, handbag, or an item from an indie designer or a vintage jewelry accent that does the trick.
The question is when you are in a petite market such as Milwaukee, where do you find such items? I consider myself a fashion headhunter, and I find joy in seeking out these items-but a hobby such as this takes time, patience and a few connections. I don’t limit myself to one city when I am looking for that something special, however I love to know about all of the hidden gems of the city, that make my searches easier.
In my quest for high fashion Milwaukee, I was able to locate a boutique so original, so revolutionary, so diverse it satisfied all my shopping cravings. I found The Boutique Revolution, Milwaukee’s underground fashion apprentice. This Boutique Revolution and Gallery, was established October 2009 in Milwaukee, by a Sheena Luckett. The mantra is to serve the greater Milwaukee and Wauwatosa area with original art and unique fashion designs. Standing behind Fashion, Art, and Creative Freedom true or budding fashionista’s will have no problem selecting something they love.
Boutique Revolution and Gallery is dedicated to the creative satisfaction, artistic freedom, and the progression of all people and artists in our community. They accomplish this by providing affordable gallery space, inspirational workshops, and community events, all in an organic atmosphere. Boutique Revolution not only serves as a community building landscape, but also as a platform for evolving fashion. It is an extension to an annual fashion production "The Fashion Revolution", serving as it's headquarters. They also house one-of-a-kind fashion designs created by local and national designers.
I fell in love with the vintage section of the store, and found a one of a kind Georgette dress that I will debut in Spring 2010! I was impressed by the independent designers that occupy floor space; and encouraged to support their efforts. I know that his is exactly what the budding fashion community of Milwaukee needs, and after speaking with the owner about her plans for Boutique Revolution’s future, I can say it will only get better!
