glam.spoon began in 2005 as a closet reorganization project, and has grown into a limited run, specialty line of day wear sold exclusively through local boutique, Frock Shop, as well as an annual couture line featured in photo editorials, charity auctions, competitions and fashion events. The couture looks are timeless, flattering and stand out from the crowd. Each piece in the collection takes its shape from key elements of the past infused with modern styling. All items are handmade by glam.spoon’s owner + designer, Tina Witherspoon.
