The Look of the City Take one trip to Boston and it will be clear to you that Providence is, hands down, the most fashionable city in New England. Maybe it’s because we have such an eclectic mix of people, talent and culture in the city. Or maybe it’s because, well, we’re a little bit cooler than them. This year, we take our Fall Fashion Issue out of the studio and into the streets of the city to take a look at what real people are wearing right now. From vintageinspired trendspotting on the East Side to what
the most fashionable professionals are wearing to work, it’s a fresh look at fashion in Providence. Take a look, get inspired, and create your own sartorial statement.

Members of:
England and a Brown graduate, Emily is currently in Washington, DC working on her doctorate at George Washington University. Of course, she still finds time to visit and explore her beloved Providence, such as this month, in which she writes about the newly minted Independence Trail. “Providence is a singular place, and yet all too often plays second fiddle to Boston,” she says of her adopted home. “Writing about the Independence Trail, I learned how that raw deal has played out in history – thanks, Harvard! – and reveled in a project that aims to correct it.”
