The elegant ballroom at the Omni William Penn Hotel, Downtown, was even more chic Sept. 28. The place was full of the city's most fashionable people — 140 of them — to honor five stylish individuals among them who were inducted into the fifth class of the Pittsburgh Fashion Hall of Fame.
The icons are Roberta Weissburg, owner of Roberta Weissburg Leathers in Shadyside and SouthSide Works; fashion designer Lana Neumeyer of O'Hara; Catherine Ferris, owner of Catherina in Oakmont; Charles Spiegel of Charles Spiegel for Men in Squirrel Hill; and Patricia Goettel, owner of Patricia Boutique on Mt. Washington.
Also, this year's Exceptional Artist award was presented to Shellie Hipsky, fashion philanthropist and television and radio host.
The afternoon included a performance by Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre students and informal modeling showcasing Mock & Co. diamonds and jewelry and evening gowns from Cache. The luncheon wrapped up the seven-day Pittsburgh Fashion Week that was celebrating its fifth year.
“These individuals have impacted our city with such grace and style,” said Miyoshi Anderson, founder and executive director of Pittsburgh Fashion Week. “They have had businesses that have lasted well over 40 years in this industry, and I wanted them to know they are appreciated and this luncheon is their time to be honored.”
TribLive commenting policy
You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.
We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments — either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
