For Nancy Allen, growing up in Stetson, Maine, it was a point of pride to be called a city slicker. For wearing a mini-skirt! she laughs. In her early 20s she headed for New York City and found she fit right in. “I felt at home and alive,” she says. “No more misfit!” While her career always brought her back to Mid-coast Maine, her passion for fashion never stopped. She’s at the top of her game and fierce about staying there.
