When Stacy London visited San Francisco last month, I was able to sit down with her after her presentation to the crowd assembled at the Westfield Centre to ask the TV star and style expert a few questions for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Each spring and early summer in San Francisco, there’s an onslaught (happily so) of student fashion shows from the City’s many fashion programs. In working on this story for the Chronicle, which ran in the June 12 print edition of the Sunday Style section, I attended every show this year (SFSU, CCA, Art Institute, AAU, CCSF). It was really exciting to see all the creativity and emerging talent. Below is a quick shot of part of the cover, but click through for the full story.
