Best Fashion Designer

Liz Pape’s design company Elizabeth Suzann makes clothing that’s decidedly elegant but also versatile. Nothing is made overseas, and Pape is transparent about how much it actually costs to source eco-friendly materials, pay workers a living wage, and grow a sustainable business. Her pieces, which you can buy online, are timeless instead of seasonal, so they’ll outlast your less expensive fast-fashion finds. Plus, the entire line goes up to size 26. Locals can check out the brand’s twice-yearly markets, where they can get gorgeous duds at a fraction of the normal cost. ERICA CICCARONE
