Fashion + Style Friday: Seamless in Seattle finally hits the runway, plus the weekend’s best sale (hint: handbags!)
By Seattle Mag June 3, 2011
I feel like we have been looking forward to it forever, and as the excitement mounts, it’s somewhat a relief to say: There is less than a week to go until the big Seamless in Seattle show at the Seattle Art Museum on Wednesday, June 8. Designers are finishing off their top-secret challenge looks, models have been selected and now we just need you there to join in on the fun. One of our panel judges, Alison Brownrigg, has a great preview of the show on NWSource today, but here’s what you really want: Get your tickets here!
The sun has finally graced us with its presence, and I have four words that will make your weekend even brighter: Crystalyn Kae handbag sale. The renowned local designer is celebrating her tenth year in the handbag biz with an exclusive sale on vegan hobo bags and clutches (like the happy Soiree bag above) at her studio this Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Grab an iced drink, head to Phinney Ridge and look for the balloons at 5611 Phinney Ave N; more details here.
