FROM THE PUBLISHER
I love entering into new seasons, and fall happens to be one
of my absolute favorites. The colors are full of rich tones,
that are fresh, crisp and full of life. One of my favorite things
to do is people watch. I love to see people transitioning as
they are preparing for change. I find it exhilarating watching
people getting ready for fall. The excitement of new colors
and trends, and how they are wearing it. I love to share and
discover people, places and things. Tulsa is an exciting city
filled with culture and style.
My latest reveal is ExcellStyle Magazine becoming the official
fashion magazine to Runway Tulsa! We are so excited to be
a part of such a dynamic organization whose mission is to
nurture the vibrant fashion sense in our community. Contrary
to popular belief Tulsa is a hip,vibrant city for trendsetters,
creatives, fashionistas and entrepreneurs who desire to
connect within the fashion industry. There is definitely a style
evolution taking place, and our goal is to spread the word.
This special issue on Runway Tulsa will give you an inside
view on what’s happening! What you don’t want to miss!
What you definitely want to be a part of!
