Introduction Bags, Fags & Drags is my way of blogging about the ups, downs and cuts of my fashion follies. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon in the late 1970’s, I started in fashion while a teenager. With a limited budget I would dive through discount, vintage bins, only to alter them to make them fit better and make a statement. Clothing creates a memory. I can tell you what I wore on every first day of school, formal dance and job interview. I love to dress. And I love to dress people. One day, I will dress the world.______________________________________________A bit about my line: “Au clothing, formerly m i c h e l l e i s w e l l, is designed and produced by Portland native Michelle Lesniak Franklin. Au is the symbol for gold on the periodic table of the elements, which signifies strength, warmth, optimism, balance and intelligence.”
Interests Fashion. Fiber. Smocking. Embroidery. Getting into trouble.
