A Queen Within

October 23, 2013

Yesterday concluded my twenty-four hour whirlwind trip to St. Louis. Not only was I able to experience Pi Pizza for the first time (YUM), I was able to discover a wonderful exhibit at the World Chess Hall of Fame. As I wandered around the Central West End one friendly gallery worker recommended I take a look at this particular exhibit. Once I entered I was stunned, this exhibit features garments by designers Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Viktor & Rolf-just to name a few. The experience is divided into multiple sections, each relating to a famous Queen, and of course chess. If you happen to be in St. Louis before April 18 I wouldn't miss A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes, Fashion and Chess.

Hi! I’m Allie Smith, a Senior Artist at Hallmark Cards with over a decade of expertise in hand lettering, design and trends translation. Outside of work, you can find me spending time with family and friends in Kansas City, taking copious amounts of photos, or planning my next trip. This blog is my online journal to share some of my work, travels and things that inspire me.


The 2024 Holdiay Season was a big one for Hallmark and @sheyda.abvabi and I! It was so surreal seeing our work utilized at events like the @hallmarkchannel Jingle Stop Event and at @hallmarkchristmaskc πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸŽ I also have to mention @jessebme @lhale
Happy New Year from our little family to yours! 🀍
