Q: Pick one adjective to best describe 2012 fashion in Boston.

Lindsey Canant, Junior Copywriter at Joss and Main: Underestimated.

Amanda Knorr, Spreedia founder: Collegiate.

Renata Certo-Ware, Scorpion Disco and freelance fashion writer/stylist: Prints! Lots of 'em. Bold, and mixed, fearlessly.

Lisa Pierpont, BOLDFACERS founder: Aspiring.

Liana Krupp, communications consultant and New Brahmin founder: Loquacious.

Christina Pierce, Christina K. Pierce Boutique Fashion Agency owner: Average.

Lani Zervas, Mon Petit Chou Chou blogger: Thriving. There is a great core of fashionable people here, trying every day, to buck the moniker GQ unfairly saddled us with.

Heather White, Lifestyle Marketing at PLNDR: Typical and iconoclastic at the same time.
