Just wanted to make our editor in chief cringe just a little bit today with the announcement of Baltimore fashion week in the news. Obviously she missed the boat 4 years ago when she came to New York because the fashion scene in Baltimore obviously was just coming of age. The fruits of its labor will now be on display with Baltimore’s first fashion week ever (or at least they’re saying so). I tried to get an interview with our editor to see how she felt about Baltimore Fashion Week, but she made herself unavailable for comment. The quite interesting thing about this piece of news is that several designers that we know of come from charm city. Project Runway designer Christian Siriano came from this wonderful place, menswear designer Michael Wesetly as well as Jedda Kahn.

So will Baltimore fashion week become a second tier show? There’s a distinct possibility of that happening. This is especially the case when you think of the talent that has come from the city.

Update: fyi astute reader Melissa Needy pointed out the link to the Baltimore site was wrong, just fiexed that.
