Today in the South there is an ever-evolving view of Southern style. What was once a fashion industry focused on maintaining the traditions of the past has evolved into a booming industry incorporating new trends and international style with the old standards. Traditions once thought of as unbreakable are being bent and broken on a daily basis. Fashion in the south has taken on a new life and direction and this trend is being capitalized on by many local fashion boutiques. We took some time to visit some the best of these boutiques and haberdasheries and found the enthusiasm and excitement for this new direction in Southern fashion to be contagious.
