ByJRochelle had the privilege of covering Fashion's Night Out for The Fashion Group International of Houston, Inc.! Here are a few shots and snippets! For more pictures and information click here.
First we hit up the ShopGirl Style Lounge (in front of Louis Vuitton) at the Houston Galleria. Joy Sewing hosted this celebration of fashion with music, cupcakes by SweetBatter and beauty demos by Edward Sanchez Vanity Lounge. Visitors also got a preview of the Chronicle's weekly luxury Style section, which launches in November. For the record, Joy says that she never wore blue until Sydney Dao convinced me it was my color.
While we were in the Galleria for a Fall trend presentation with special appearance by designer Catherine Deane, Art installations throughout the store from Houston Fine Art Fair Campfire couture: Nosh on custom gourmet s’mores in the Mariposa® restaurant Visit Cosmetics for mini-makeovers, nail art, concealer consultation & a braid bar.
