EIDE Magazine: Fashion Magazine of the South Goes National. India Retail News. Published April 21, 2014. Located via LexisNexis.

This article is about the Spring 2014 national launch of Eide Magazine, which focuses specifically on Southern fashion and lifestyle. I had not heard of Eide, so I was excited to have a new source for my research. My ignorance of its existence, along with the article’s assertion that Eide is “filling an essential niche in the marketplace,” makes me wonder if Southern fashion is still a relatively untapped area of reporting, which would relate well to a piece on Southern Bon Vivant.

Athens, Ga., clothing boutique promotes positive attitude. By Don Nelson, Athens Banner-Herald. Published February 24, 2008. Located via Lexis Nexis.

This article is about the 2008 opening of a now-defunct Athens boutique called Blonde. I stumbled across this article by accident (along with several others about boutiques no longer in existence), and it made me wonder if there could perhaps be a story idea in there–is or is not Athens a good place for clothing boutiques? Why or why not?
