As 2017 reaches its halfway point, it’s a good time to reflect on what’s been accomplished so far and what’s worth striving for in the next six months. If we don’t have goals, they can’t be met. Here, we note an artistically inspired clothing collection, products that offer more fashion options for marginalized shoppers, and people leading civic causes that build community.

The launch Models sometimes dance down runways, but Tokyo Gamine designer Yuka Uehara (pictured, left) took that a step further when she turned a trunk show into a three-act ballet to celebrate her ready-to-wear line’s launch at Pia boutique. San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Mathilde Froustey (pictured, far left) lead the five dancers and five models from Look Model Agency on a journey down an “Alice in Wonderland”-inspired fashion rabbit hole. With her ultra-max neoprene bubble skirts and love of handpainting and floral appliques, Uehara’s work translates gracefully to ballet. Pia, 414 Jackson St., (628) 444-3227.

The glossy Those slapstick “Pink Panther” films that SFFilm Vice President Todd Traina watched as a kid influenced his sense of humor. A four-hour interview with Town & Country magazine resulted in a pithy Q&A in the June/July issue that features Traina and his mom, Fine Arts Museums board president Dede Wilsey, discussing the challenges of recruiting new faces to organizational boards — “What’s the time commitment? I would rather just write a check.” Wilsey, never reluctant to give her all, notes that she’s lately spread her wealth wider than arts and medical causes — to animal groups like donkey rescue. Never one to resist a double entendre, Traina notes: “I’ll tell you this: There’s not a day goes by that we don’t have to deal with jackasses.”
