Derby Volume - Editors Note

Alisha Proffitt

Editor’s Note 

Derby in Louisville is absolutely not subtle, and isn’t that exactly the point? 

For a few weeks, everything gets a whole lot louder. We are talking the colors, the patterns, the personalities. All of it. 

This Derby Fashion issue leans into that chaos and whimsy. The hats are bigger, the rules are looser, and self-expression wins every single time. You could say that Derby style is best left to those who prefer not to play it safe. It’s about showing up and standing out. Consider this your permission slip! 

Take care,
