From Paris to Portsmouth
Downtown boutique owners talk about Fashion’s Night Out and local style
Layering is an art.
“Here in New England, we all want to look really glamorous, but we want to be warm, too,” said Assiah Russell, owner of Puttin’ on the Glitz, a boutique in downtown Portsmouth. “You need to have the art of layering down.”
On Thursday, Sept. 8, Fashion’s Night Out will be celebrated internationally, and this year, Portsmouth is an official participant. Local retailers will show off the Seacoast style by hosting special in-store events from 5 to 9 p.m., such as trunk sales, raffles, new product line launches, free demonstrations and modeling.
The event began in New York City in 2009 as an after-hours shopping and entertainment event, and Russell is one of the people who brought it here. She said she often visits New York for inspiration and translates the looks into ones that work here.
“While certainly not New York City, people in Portsmouth are pretty stylish,” Russell said. “I think they know fashion and get fashion. They want to look good.”
Puttin’ on the Glitz has a wide selection of jewelry, including the bracelets that women have been piling on lately, but also woolen hats and dressy scarves.
“New England is the land of scarves,” Russell said. She said you can liven up your look with a colorful scarf in the dead of winter when everyone is pale from lack of sunlight.
Russell said accessories are what really make your style. “It’s all about accessorizing with color,” she said, adding that this fall’s colors include jewel tones like peacock blue, emerald green and deep red.
She said leg warmers, faux fur, long tunics and leggings are all popular on the Seacoast, and many women are willing to spring for expensive, tall boots. “It’s all about looking good and being really cozy,” she said.
She is planning a “red-carpet feel” for Fashion’s Night Out, featuring locally designed, hand-felted handbags, totes and mittens from Frank and Mary, a trunk sale of headwear by Toucan Hats, and Hobo International handbags. She’s recently been restocking her boutique at 40 Market St. with boxes full of the latest trends.
