All I want right now is a little LAMB. Or Gavin Rossdale.

Although I am a born and bred Portlander I have never owned a pair of Birkenstock's. Shamefully, I blow dry my hair daily.  I by no means wish to move to the land of the utterly chic, but on a recent shopping trip (yes, I go shopping) for a 'event dress' I was miserably disappointed.  I need some flair, and not the kind Miss Anistons uniform required in Office Space.

Thankfully I have a little LAMB clothing to fall back on.  For those that require the little extra sauciness and want to not overpower the PTown esthetic, this line is for you.  After all, there is a little rock star wanna-be in all of us.

The coat above is IN STOCK! BUY LAMB CLOTHING HERE:

FLUXUS Kimono dress.

I don't know if you guys know this, but I am a pretty big deal.  I have a fair amount of Portland Fashion events to attend, and well, sometimes you just want to be able to throw something on and run out the door, no spanks, no worries about last night's libations which has lead to a pooch, and most importantly, no tedious ironing involved.

This fluxus dress is simply amazing.  It is a huge departure from the normal festive attire and is just plain saucy.  It lends to allowing you to wear those insane heels you purchased quite simply because they took your breath away, but then had nothing to wear them with.

If you are having a hard time with shopping Portland look no further, and we are getting an even wider selection of dresses as the holidays draw closer. (hint: LAMB) If you have time stop by to check out our FLUXUS BRAND trunk show with personal stylist Brianna Showell.  You don't want to miss out on our insane amount of fluxus clothing. Really - you don't.

Fluxus Clothing.

Fluxus—a name taken from a Latin word meaning "to flow"

Inspired by the mid-century art movement and Los Angeles inner-city culture, FLuXuS breaks away from tradition and encourages the advancement of self-expression through fashion. FLuXuS clothing has embodied art in every garment created since 2007; incorporating simple but tactile materials such as jersey cotton, tri-blend and the signature hand of the burnout in avant-garde shapes and cuts for men and women.

FLuXuS does not believe in outsourcing. Everything in our Los Angeles infrastructure is vertically integrated, from conceptualization and manufacturing to retail. FLuXuS clothing is committed to helping and working with local communities as well as facilitating social progress in the workplace to create a revolution in the apparel industry.

FLuXuS, from a Latin etymological root meaning flow, describes a movement with origins in futurist performance that blurs the lines between all artistic genres. Influenced by the work of John Cage and Marcel Duchamp, the Fluxus group, which includes Yoko Ono, Beck and Ben, shifted the emphasis from what an artist makes to the artist’s personality, actions and opinions.

Blending and connecting all aspects of art and life, intermingling different philosophies and cultures This is what FLuXuS clothing represents.

There is life, there is art and in between is fashion.
