Oscar de Ia Renta Fashion Show and V.I.P. Party
By the time the last gown exited the runway at the Oscar de la Renta show at NorthPark's Fashion at
the Park, you could hear a pin drop. Maybe it was the blissful sounds of Polyphonic Spree soundtrack
or the fact that everyone in the tent knew that they were in the presence of a master. The show
consisted of Oscar's favorite looks from his Resort and Spring collections - all hand-picked by the
designer himself - and touched upon several key trends - tribal patterns, beading, bright color and
safari looks. The glamorous V.I.P. party at the Oscar de la Renta boutique after the runway show was
definitely the hot ticket during Fashion at the Park.I
-1. jSo many people wanted to attend that they had to cut off rsvp's several days before the event! Several hundred people
enjoyed the Todd Events chic decor, artistic bites by Suze and D.J. Brandon Olds, who kept the vibe going past closing
time. Oscar CEO, Alex Bolen, and his wife Eliza (she's Oscar's step-daughter) flew in for the festivities. Alex was very
impressed by the turnout of so many of our attractive Fashionistas. Store manager, Mary Lou Connor, told me the next
day that they had to turn off the music and shut off the lights to get everyone to leave at 9:45. www.oscardelarenta.comTOMS Shoes Trunk Show
After a trip to Argentina, entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie was inspired by
their traditional shoe, the alargatas, and struck by the country's poverty
and health issues. He created TOMS (TOMS is short for tomorrow) with
a singular mission to make life more comfortable. TOMS accomplishes
this by making a shoe that feels so good you never want to take it off
and by matching every pair purchased with a donation of a pair of shoes
to a child in need. Blake and his team, which includes his mom Pam
Mycoskie, are currently in South Africa giving away 50,000 pairs of
shoes to impoverished children. You can read all about it on their
website blog. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet this
extraordinary young man - thanks to Fabulous Fashionista, Jacquelin
Sewell. www.tomsshoes.com- -
