WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – For Beth Frank, her inspiration isn’t just art — it’s her Florida Panthers fandom.
“Panthers fans are just like passionate and I think because it’s not as common to be a fan that just means we care that much more,” she said.
Local 10 met Frank inside her creative studio in Studio 1016 in West Palm Beach, where she showed off her handmade pieces — from jackets to heels to Panthers-themed purses.
“I’ve always been a really creative person just ever since I was a little kid,” she said.
Frank said she began designing her own fan fashion out of necessity.
“Just there was like a gap in the market,” she said. “A lot of the stuff that team shops have and like the local stores — there’s a lot of nothing, t-shirts and jerseys.”
That gap turned into a business. As Frank started sharing her creations on social media, more Panthers fans reached out, asking if she could make them something, too.
Now, her custom pieces are a hit online — each one crafted carefully with one thing in mind: supporting the Cats.
As for what she expects from Florida in the Stanley Cup Final?
“I’m one of those fans who does not like to jinx things,” she said with a smile.
One thing is certain — win or lose, Frank will be cheering them on in style.
