And just like that, we were old college roommates!
Last Thursday Rebecca Minkoff was in town for a meet and great at a local store Halls. I have mentioned the store before here. I met up with a few of my girlfriends on the plaza for a little photo session before the event. We always try to take advantage of a get together to take outfit picks for one another! The store was bustling with shoppers and a few local designers. We headed to the mens department first to check out some of the menswear. Well that and the fact that one of the girls has a thing for soccer players, and there were several downstairs! Haha! We met designer Aurelien Collin. Friendly, and a bit shy, he has some very cool pieces that I think are unisex.
It was also the opening night for Kansas City Fashion Week and several people were heading straight over to the show after this event.
There was a bar set up with cocktails especially named for Rebecca, a DJ, and trays of hors d'oeurves being served. A few of the girls enjoyed mocktails as well!
I, of course, had to make a stop by the Jo Malone counter for a sample of the new fragrances. I love the new fragrance Elderflower and Goseberry.
There was a line to meet Rebecca, and the store was a little hot, but we didn't care.
She was darling. Slender, oh my god was she ever slender. Her legs were the size of my bicep, and I use the word bicep loosely here, if that tells you anything! Standing next to her made me feel large! But she is pretty. Flawless completion and a sweet personality, she made each and every lady feel like they were the only one she was there to visit with. A genuine appreciation for her fans, that is a big score for me!
We were privileged to view her fall line and shop and there were several items I would love to add to my closet. Lets just say a certain jacket, and shoes!
I am sure it is nothing to meet designers if you live on either coast, but in the Midwest, its not a usual sighting! Thanks Rebecca Minkoff for visiting Kansas City. Have you met any designers, and who? Did it change what you thought of their designs?
