In a first for Chattanooga Market, fashion will be the focus on Sunday, Nov. 16.
Seventeen vendors will feature original designs in everything from clothing to jewelry to purses to scarves. There will items for men, too, ranging from trendy tees to leather goods to bow ties. Other vendors will have fashions for children and infants.
“One of the unique things about our farmers market is that we are also an artists market,” says spokeswoman Melissa Siragusa. “When seasons change, we find ourselves able to focus on textiles, arts, crafts, photography and other things that we offer all season long … . Sometimes the awe of fresh produce steals the show, so we want to use this preholiday time to show folks some unique fashion finds as well.”
Now in her ninth year at the market is artist/fashion designer Julie Whitehead of Julie Belle Designs (JBD Dye Worx on Facebook). Siragusa describes her tie-dye apparel and accessories as “thoughtfully and skillfully made.”
