CounterCouture is the official recipient of some third party ink. After the officially launch of the brand, the local and national media has been buzzing with coverage of the label. On December 3rd, CounterCouture was featured on the front page of the Variety section of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. This entertaining article promoting the launch event at the MNfashion Boutique was written by local lifestyle writer Kristin Tillotson. Read Psst… Upcycling Ugly here.
