As CultureMap’s first Fashion on Sale approaches, with the VIP party Friday night and bargain shopping all weekend, all this concentrated style is starting to add up. Let’s break it down shall we?
Consider the space. A massive 43,000 square feet on the second floor of West Ave at River Oaks, filled with 34 retailers selling clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty products for at least 40 percent off. Houston’s luxury handbag and shoe queen, Elaine Turner is selling her wares for up to 80 percent off.
Consider the space. A massive 43,000 square feet, filled with 34 retailers selling clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty products for at least 40 percent off and as much as 80 percent off.
The stores included at Fashion on Sale have names even numerologists would love. There’s One Green Street, Times Too, 5 Stack Vintage, Cinco Vodka, 7 For All Mankind, Lot 8 and Squared Away, which I’m including because my fuzzy math brain recognizes “squared” as something important in math circles.
Clearly, I don’t run in those.
Looking at the retailer list again, I also see there’s Cheeky Vintage, the Vintage Contessa and 5 Stack Vintage, three of the city’s best vintage choices. Retailer Marlo Miller is shutting down her Foutainview boutique for three days while she brings five rolling racks of sportswear and modern Western wear for rodeo and beyond.
For those checking out the Man Cave at West Ave (a getaway for your guy, whom you told you just wanted to “stop by and check it out”) there are four manly meal options at Alto Pizzeria, CRU Wine Bar, Eddie V’s and Pondicheri. And there’s a fashion choice for them, too, at Q Custom Clothier and, wait for it, Rye 51. (See what I did there?) There’s complimentary beer at the men’s stores and if you spend $500 at Rye 51, you get a a complimentary custom shirt at Q Custom Clothiers worth $150.
Through Swift Rentals, we have 52 eight-foot tables, plus 27 rolling racks. Throughout the weekend more than 3,000 bites will be consumed and we predict, quite a few cups of coffee and glasses of wine and champagne from the three bars at Fashion on Sale. And you may have heard about Fashion on Sale when listening to Mix 96.5 and Hot 95.7.
We can only guesstimate the number of eyelashes Edward Sanchez is giving away to shoppers who check out his Edward Sanchez Vanity Lounge, but assuming most women won’t pass up free lashes, it’s going to be a lot. And don’t forget that one special woman Ceron is pulling from the crowd Friday night for a spring hair style.
Tootsies is sending out a total of 24 spring looks during a fashion presentation on Friday night at the VIP party. Chloe Dao, David Peck, Marlo Miller and Hello Lucky will combine for up to 32 looks during Saturday and Sunday.
Two stylists, Dawn Bell and Misti Pace-Krahl, will be on hand to help with any number of fashion inquiries and lots of gorgeous between The Do Bar’s braid bar, Sarah Tucker’s lash bar and Azur West’s hair styling spot.
Fashion on Sale is three days, tickets start at $20 and if I do the math right, the only thing missing is you. And your +1.
