by Lynette Charters Serembe — Tucked away in the heart of The Hotel Olympia building adjacent to Sylvester Park is the raw gem of a fashion enterprise named Enterlope. Cal Ledbetter is the owner and main designer, who has big dreams with plans of bringing couture fashion to our community in a truly Olympian way. He started creating clothes for drag queens, making some very flamboyant outfits, then moving on to make prom dresses. At the time being, inspired by designers of the past, such as McQueen, Dior, Lagerfeld and Galliano, he says he mimicked their designs to learn their techniques. Then he was introduced to local designer Dakota Miller; they teamed up working with their new brand aesthetic.
