<br /> <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Crowds Rave for Crave's Spring Market Sale
<br /></span></strong></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">
<br /></span></strong>Last Sunday’s Crave Spring Sale could be heard before you entered; a bouncing pulse that lured ladies to the entrance—creating the perfect mood to shop!
<br />Near the entrance lay a paradise of apothecary quality lotions and potions, a fresh scent to the venue that added to the luxurious aura of everyone in the room. Making the way around, a gentleman(one of only a couple in the room!) hands out passes for 3 free training sessions at a women focused gym…there is motivation in FREE! There were selections of handbags from Clutch in real leather, not the anticipated PVC something or other, a great selection however, make that a mental note for next years spring must have bag!! There are the girls from Fashion First, selling tickets to the August 7th show and noticeably enjoying the music. Farther down, in comfortable territory of sheer tops and some designer pieces, a silvered linen cropped jacket caches the eye of a shopper, she notices the Kors label and smiles, then darts to a quilted black A-line skirt. The next rack is better than the last! Shoes were slightly at a minimum, though had exquisite prices—add that information to next years on going mental note...
<br />The loop of vendors proves to be exhilarating to the masses, girls everywhere hand over cash and cards (don't fret, yes, you can use plastic!), stashing their new wares into the new handbag they bought down the aisle. From organic cotton to leather, rhinestones to dog sweaters, hand soap to necklaces, all under one roof--brilliant!
<br />The afternoon was lush and pretty, sparing no expense and leaving no sense un-worked. Nice work CRAVE team, keep it coming...wish lists are already big for 2009. See you then!

YSL was an amazing haute couture designer, famous for taking over House of Dior at the age of 21. He is one of the most influential designers of his time and will be remembered along with iconic fashion designers like Coco Chanel and Balenciaga for his contributions to the fashion industry as we know it.<br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">It’s only right that we pay homage tonight to an amazing man who gave us the fabulous quote, "Fashion Fades. Style Remains"….and so will your memory YSL. We love you.</span> </span><br /><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Yves St. Laurent<br /><em>August 1, 1936- June 1, 2008</em></span></div><em><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family:Arial;">-Sydney</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family:Arial;">Fashion First</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family:Arial;">Associate Producer</span></em>Fashion Firsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166387290151081746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747866336583817120.post-81642670778566346402008-04-21T21:39:00.000-07:002008-04-21T21:43:45.977-07:00Joan Kelly of Fashion FirstJoan Kelly of Fashion First is interviewed for MyCityChic.com by Devon Poer and Kent Rogers after the Art Institute of Seattle's Underground fashion show.<br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fjktMN2kx2Y&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fjktMN2kx2Y&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.mycitychic.com/">www.mycitychic.com</a>Fashion Firsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166387290151081746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747866336583817120.post-89241969290177157902008-04-15T15:47:00.000-07:002008-06-01T23:33:52.792-07:00Fashion First 2008 Line Up<strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#6600cc;">We are pleased to annouce the Fashion First 2008 Lineup:</span></strong><br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Sway & Cake</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Marqsmen</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Tatters</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Illi</strong></span></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Opal</span></strong></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Canopy Blue</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Ragomoffyn's</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>La Ree</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Clutch</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Alhambra</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>The Finerie</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Petaline.net</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>WCM Belts</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Seamless in Seattle * A set featuring the winners of Seattle Magazine's design competition!</strong></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#993399;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#6600cc;">2008 Sponsors</span></strong> </span></span></p><ul><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Seattle Magazine</span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Belltown Business Association</span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation</span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Joan & Jared Events</span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">New Talk 710 KIRO </span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">PR Matters</span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Rock N Wood</span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Seven </span></strong></li><li><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Dr. J.
