BEST DESIGNER DEN MOTHER: SHEA STEELE/LOCAL HONEY
We have long harbored a massive crush on Shea Steele. Who can resist a cute redhead whose business acumen is as sharp as her sense of style? Then again, those things are to be expected from the owner of Local Honey, the 12South boutique that's home to Nashville's largest collection of local indie fashion labels, including Valentine Valentine, Jamie & the Jones, Shannon Lea and Steele's own line, White Rabbit. In July, Steele celebrated five years of cultivating the city's most promising fledgling design talent with a cupcake-and-PBR-fueled house party/fashion show. If we're lucky, there are many more of these celebrations in Local Honey's future. -LIBBY CALLAWAY
