Statement Boutique in the North Loop is One of Many Retailers Offering Fashionopolis Week Specials Thru October 11

Article by Becky Fillinger

Fashionopolis Week kicked off on October 5 and runs through October 11. Check out the full list of over 35 participating retailers to shop for local deals and savings. TCF Bank is a major sponsor of the event and notes that small businesses are the backbone of our community, and encourages us all to shop in our own neighborhood.

Mill City Times dropped in on Statement Boutique in the North Loop at 212 3rd Avenue N to speak with owner Molly Blanski. Molly welcomes everyone to come by and shop her boutique’s collections. (If you are uncomfortable entering the store, they offer curbside pickup.) She stocks fashions from some of the best female creativists in Minneapolis - all of their graphic t-shirts and sweatshirts are locally made by amazing women. 

In the photo below, she shows us fashions from Monique Maxwell and Michelle Brusegaard.

Need election-inspired jewelry? She has that, too!

Molly is very impressed with the effort that MSP Magazine put into the week of events. “They have orchestrated an event that supports local businesses in a safe way. 2020 required creative approaches to the event and they have succeeded.” Statement Boutique is fully stocked and celebrating Fashionopolis with a sale - save 20% on Fall fashions in the store through Sunday, October 11.  

Other North Loop retailers participating in Fashionopolis include D.Nolo, MartinPatrick3 and Queen Anna House of Fashion.

About Becky Fillinger

I’ve been a resident of the Mill District only since July 2019, but have visited the Guthrie, the Farmers Market, restaurants and friends in the area for many years prior to making the leap to Minneapolis. I’ve lived in many places (and climates) in the US and can testify that our cultural events, bicycle and hiking trails, parks and green spaces, museums, diverse neighborhoods and wonderful restaurants put Minnesota and Minneapolis high on my best places list. I’m a member of the Mill City Singers and look forward to our choir practices and performances.

One of my main interests is community - a very broad concept. For me it means bringing people together with common interests to form meaningful relationships. I look forward to reporting on businesses and individuals in our neighborhoods. Feel free to drop me an email at becky_fillinger@hotmail.com with your thoughts and ideas for stories.
