VIP Party Kicks off Bellevue Fashion Week

Tuesday, August 24th was the VIP kickoff Party for Bellevue Fashion Week. The event was held at the Twisted Cork at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue. On display was the new book American Fashion Designers at Home authored by Rima Suqi, along with the new collection from designer Cynthia Rowley. Models posed on platforms with Rowley's designs that included retro fabrics and ostrich feathers.

In partnership with Assouline and CFDA, the event was hosted by Karen Moyer of the Moyer Foundation. Delectable treats and drinks were provided by Twisted Cork of the Hyatt. It was a beautiful and fashionable event with many fashion industry professionals attending.

Woo Hoo

It feels like the holidays! We've been able to raffle off some amazing prizes to our members recently. First, we had all kinds of amazing goodies, like gift certificates to Frenchy's, Vian Hunter, and Tricoter from our big summer shopping event in Madison Valley, and just this week we are giving away tickets to the big REPORT Launch event produced by Girl Power Hour.

If you haven't won anything yet, sit tight. We promise there are more opportunities in store for great deals & steals!
