Earlier today, CHS visited with Lady Krishna, a Capitol Hill character who brightens the streets of Pike and Pine with her love, art, fashion, and music. You can thank another neighborhood character for the images of the Lady in motion.

Orlin Nedkov works at a hospital on First Hill in a job that requires him to stay in close proximity. His time on call, therefore, is spent mostly on Capitol Hill — with a camera in hand.

Nedkov’s hobby currently takes shape in @caphillstreetfashion2022, an Instagram account chronicling Capitol Hill street fashion looks.

“I have 3,000 pictures of people,” Nedkov said. “I don’t know what it is going to morph into.”

Nedkov’s method is to engage — “Talk to them. People on the Hill are the best people.” — get close and, briefly, turn the Hill’s characters into fashion models.

“I approach people that I think have a unique style,” Nedkov said. “I’ve met so many people.”

The account launched with images of Lady Krishna but Nedkov isn’t exactly sure where it will go next. He’s watching the seasons of fashion change. And he is also interested in showing street looks that aren’t necessarily tied to a specific place.

But, for now, Nedkov’s showcase of some of the best, most fun, and most Capitol Hill looks in the neighborhood continues.
