Tribeza Style Week: Tribeza Fashion Show

Tribeza Style Week came to a close last Thursday night with the Tribeza Fashion Show featuring looks from By George, Feathers Boutique, Moss Designer Consignment, Y and I Boutique, Underwear, Estilo, Service Menswear, c.jane, The Garden Room, Kendra Scott Jewelry, Julian Gold, and Saks Fifth Avenue.  I thought the styling of this show was a step up from last year's as it involved more layering, detail, and texture.  It should come as no shock that my preferred looks of the night came from my personal favorites, Feathers and Moss.  Can I please have one of those colorful sequin dresses?...please?  Trends from this colorful, rich looking, and wearable runway included:

1) fur

2) sequins

3) fringe

4) knee high boots

5) vests for the guys

For some reason I couldn't stop dancing and wiggling in the photo pit, but I managed to get photos nonetheless (except for that one outfit that walked down the runway when the lights went out...)

Recap: Fall Fashion Show with Hem, Stanton, and Estilo

Thursday night I went to the Fall Fashion Show put on by Hem Jeans, Stanton, and Estilo.   The fashion show was hosted at Embellish Nail Salon & Boutique in Westlake.  Seeing as I'm not a wealthy mom, I don't spend much time in that area of town, so it was kinda fun to hang out in a different area.  

The Embellish here was a lot bigger, a lot pinker (pink walls pink ceiling, pink everything),  and had a lot more accessories than the Embellish in the Triangle.  They actually had a cute selection of shoes and accessories including jewelry, sunglasses, wallets, and more. 

Hem and Stanton Fashion Events

Hem Jeans and Stanton Clothing Co. are having 2 fashion events this week.

First, Hem and Stanton are teaming up with Estilo to bring you a Fall Fashion Show this Thursday hosted by Embellish Nails & Boutique.  There will be complimentary cocktails and cupcakes (whoo!).  They will also be giving out swag bags to the first 75 guests and everyone can enjoy 20% off any purchases.  DJ Johnny Bravvo (does Johnny Bravvo with two v's look like Johnny Bravo the cartoon?) will be providing the music.

Recap: Tribeza Style Week Fashion Show

Tribeza Style Week may have kicked off with an all men's fashion show, but the pinnacle of the week was the main Fashion Show which featured mostly female looks from Saks Fifth Avenue, The Garden Room, Underwear, Adelante, Peyton's Place, Missbehave, Service Menswear, c.jane, Valentine's Too,  Julian Gold, and Estilo.

There were several pieces that came down the runway that I thought were really beautiful, and there were 2 main trends that I noticed at this show:

1) Fur vests
2) Shiny metallic and sparkles

FUR VESTS

Underwear

Recap: Rock + Runway Show

It may have been the first day of Fall, but the night was still balmy when Austinites gathered at ND at 501 Studios to celebrate men’s fashion.  Tribeza Style Week kicked off last Wednesday with the the Rock + Runway Men’s Show which presented the newest looks from three local stores - Service Menswear,  Estilo,  and Stag.

While images of Austin street-scapes flicked on a wall, models walked the runway showing off modern Ivy League looks mixed with sleek hipster-wear. Sweaters of all shapes and weights were featured along with jackets, sneakers, and midi-boots.

Cords and denim were popular pant choices. Many of the models wore a necktie or scarf. Plaids and 80s inspired prints were popular for shirts and some sport coats. Earth-tones were very prominent. Dain Higdon, owner of the Texas Clothier, commented that the look was a throw back to the traditional styles of the 1920s and 1930s, reinterpreted with a slimmer cut and modern details. 

Tribeza Style Week Presents: Rock + Runway Men's Fashion Show

Tribeza Style Week kicks off next Tuesday with an (invite only) kick off party.  The main fashion show will take place on Friday Sept. 24th at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum featuring looks from Adelante, C.Jane, Estilo, Eliza Page, The Graden Room, Julian Gold, MISSBEHAVE, Peyton's Place, Saks Fifth Avenue, Underwear, and Valentine's Too.

But, the show I am most looking forward to is the Rock + Runway Men's Fashion Show.  Why?  Because this will be the first all local mens fashion show I will attend.  First of all, there aren't that many local stores that carry a lot of mens fashion (although, it is definitely growing.)  The addition of STAG was a huge help to the stylish male market.

Glam Shop

Exclusive shopping, complimentary cocktails, bite specials, and live music!  Glam Shop is coming to the 2nd St. District.  Hosting shops include: Bo Concept, Plain Ivey Jane, gallery D, Estilo, Girl Next Door, Eliza Page, and Beyond Tradition.

Estilo Fashion Show Tomorrow

One of the 2nd St. District's best boutiques, Estilo, is having a fashion show tomorrow at Six Lounge. This event is benefiting Ignite a Dream and their athletic programs for the underprivileged youth of Austin.
