IndySwank was voted Best Clothing Boutique for the MetroMix 2010 Best of Awards! Thanks to everyone who voted!  This win meant a lot and is a nod of approval to not only our store, but also to Fountain Square. We happily share “Best of Status” with fellow Fountain Square establishments Siam Square and Radio Radio!

A winter storm did not keep art lovers away from the Murphy on First Friday Feb. 5th! The Fresh show at IndySwank was a success and it was fun to see a new artist sell first piece. The show is still up if you weren’t able to make it out last Friday.

So what is next for IndySwank? We are launching a relationship with local fashion designer Bernie Martin. Bernie’s Catou line will be in the store by the end of the month. I worked with Bernie on selecting pieces that are affordable and fashionable.  Catou will be the perfect addition to our line of products and also pairs well with the Cheeky Couture jewelry that we now carry.

IndySwank remains committed to vintage clothes, but have always planned to select one or two clothing designers to showcase in the store. Fashion design is an art and it is part of our mission to support local artists.  We knew we had met our match in Bernie!
