Fashion and rock ’n’ roll have always gone together, but in a city like Portland, where every hipster dude in a band rocks the same hoodie, things often get lost in the fleece. Back for its fifth year, Doom Town is an annual show that combines the best of Portland’s rock and thread worlds. We asked fashion-show director and Disorder Clothing designer Elizabeth Mollo, show producer Erin Cry and their intern/model Kori Emmerich for a pro take on some clothing dos and don’ts.

MONDAY MARCH 3


[MUSIC] THE GUTTER TWINS

TUESDAY MARCH 4


[MUSIC] TILLY AND THE WALL, CAPGUN COUP, A WEATHER
