Iowa might not be the first place that comes to mind when one is mulling over fashion capitals. In fact, The Onion thought the idea of an Iowa Fashion Week was so preposterous, it ran an entire satirical piece on the topic.
But because we're all about exploring style in its many forms, we made a pit stop in Burlington, Iowa for our United States in Style series.
