Meet Bethany Van Delft. Bethany has graced
many of Boston's fashion runways as a model extraordinaire over the
years. Everyone knows she's funny, but what some who know her through
the fashion industry might not know is that she is a comedienne on the
verge of greatness, or at least a sitcom deal. She'll be sharing her
model musings all through Boston Fashion Week.
How To Become a Model.
not.
One time when I was a
teenager I heard an announcement on the radio. What it said was Calvin
Klein was going to be at Filene’s signing autographs, but what I heard
was this was my one big chance to become a Calvin Klein model, and live
a life of being photographed by Bruce Weber, lying around topless and
tannned between my two more tanned gay luvahs. Using a photo of Josie
Borain in Calvin Klein I had on my wall as inspiration, I turned a black
bed sheet into a skinny ankle length skirt, topped it off with an extra
large v-neck sweater layered over a white t-shirt, white slouchy socks,
black patent leather penny loafers, and went downtown to meet my future.
I don’t know what I thought was going to happen, but it didn’t. There
was no “Wow, I made that skirt Josie had on from a bed sheet too! You
should be my next big model!” He smiled and said “Hello”, signed the
Calvin Klein ad with Talisa Soto I had ripped from the latest W, and
greeted the next person, who clearly did not even make their own
imitation CK outfit. I left dejected, with no modeling career, but a
fancy new bed sheet skirt that I wore for a whole season. Eventually I
was lucky enough to become a model the right way. But I confess, bed
sheets have still been known to go missing from my household right
around fall collections from time to time.

The Boston Fashion Trail kicks off today,
right alongside Boston Fashion Week, with the opening of the new
Marimekko shop in Crate & Barrel on Boylston Street. Stop by today
between 4-6 for a little DIY fun. Celebrate fashion as a lifestyle in
all aspects of your life, including home!
I love the stories that come with Marimekko
products. I was informed that this little girl's dress was called
Iloinen Takki, and all the little pockets were meant for love notes.
Surrur
You're invited to a DIY “Surrur” workshop to create your own wearable
art, a custom necklace made from the bold color and pattern of Marimekko
fabric. Join them for a creative afternoon of home fashion and
refreshments. Note: "Surrur" is
meant to evoke the sound of a sewing machine.

“Having one central
location will really create an opportunity

a premiere event for the city,’’ Menino said.
“This is going to
be a truly professional event,
and our talent in
Boston deserves that.’’
