Photo Gallery | Absolutely Alabama: Fred visits designer Alabama Chanin

Like a lot of teenagers, Natalie Chanin admits she thought she had to leave home to make her mark in the world. Her journeys took her to North Carolina to Europe and eventually back to the high fashion world of New York City. But it was there she realized the kind of mark she wanted to make just might be found in her own backyard.

Recently, Fred Hunter visited Florence, Alabama, and a way of doing business which is really "like they used to do it." He found out what was old is actually new again and that the woman behind Alabama Chanin is truly Absolutely Alabama.
