Altar was created by Amy Fox and Cassie Ridgeway as an alternative fashion boutique inspired by the natural world and spirit of the Northwest. With their physical shop inside of a historic, converted house, the Portland store curates an array of handmade womenswear, accessories, apothecary, and jewelry from designers that emphasize high quality for pieces that will last a lifetime.

Brooklyn babe Samantha Pleet designs the kind of eclectic styles that immediately make heads turn. She started her eponymous line in 2007 and every season tells a story with each piece as its own character. Her style is immediately recognizable as her own, fusing in-your-face prints with simple, girly silhouettes. It comes as no surprise that the designer constantly earns accolades from the likes of Vogue and NYLON. Plus, A-list celebrities like Lena Dunham, Lorde and Maggie Gyllenhaal can't get enough. When it comes to this trailblazing talent, we're waiting on the edge of our seats to see what she'll come up with next.
