Thanks to a groundswell of young fashionistas, Northeast Florida is experiencing a fashion movement centered in Jacksonville, a town with a rich but largely forgotten history in film and music. A century ago, Jacksonville was the wintertime epicenter of silent filmmaking, home to some 30 motion picture companies including those that would become today’s MGM and Universal. The likes of Theda Bara, Oliver Hardy, John and Ethyl Barrymore and Clara Bow all worked and wintered in the area for a time.

The 1929 opening of the Ritz Theatre also helped make Jacksonville’s LaVilla district an important stop on the Chitlin Circuit, a string of performance venues throughout the eastern and southern states that were safe and acceptable for black musicians, comedians, and other entertainers to perform during the age of racial segregation. LaVilla’s Ashley Street was known as the “Harlem of the South.”

But the area has never been known for fashion – until now. Over the past few years, Jacksonville has seen a groundswell of local fashion designers; models; hair and makeup artists; photographers; and set stylists emerge with looks and talent that many say could rival their big-market counterparts. One of them is designer Erin Healy, founder of Erin Healy Designs.
