TRIBEZA’s Fourth Annual Style Week kicks off Wednesday, September 19 with a Happy Hour from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 1400 South Congress.
Browse through By George’s airy new space and nibble on appetizers from Mars
and Cissi’s Market. Style Week
continues on Thursday, September 20, with a Boutique Crawl across the city. Vans will ferry shoppers to
Adelante, Girl Next Door, Peyton’s Place, Sana Boutique, Soigne Boutique, SoLa,
and Touch of Sass, among others. Each store will have their own party going on
with food, drinks, and special deals.
On September 21, the Blanton
Museum of Art will be transformed into Austin's own version of New York City’s
Bryant Park for the fourth annual TRIBEZA Fashion Show. This celebration of fashion is the grand finale of TRIBEZA
Style Week, featuring events that highlight Austin's diverse retail and design
communities. The Fashion Show presents savvy Austinites with an exclusive
opportunity to jump-start their fall and winter wardrobes by sneaking a peek at
what's in store at some of the city's most chic boutiques—Envie Boutique,
Estilo, Fetish, the Garden Room, Girl Next Door, Keepers, and Valentines Too.
At the show, guests will enjoy
offerings from Jeffrey's, Truluck's, and other restaurants, as well as wines
and Tito's Vodka cocktails, included in the price of your ticket. On the main
level, guests can browse through selections from haute couture sponsor Lotus
Boutique, view Stratus Properties’ latest venture—the highly anticipated Block
21 project (W Hotel and Residences)—and lounge on modern furniture from Nest
while listening to house music.
Fashion takes the spotlight as models from some of the top
Texas agencies descend the grand staircase of the Blanton's dramatic atrium to
walk the runway. Images of the models' procession, videotaped by Atomic Picnic,
will be projected onto the museum's 100-foot walls for those who want a second
look. Tickets for the event can be purchased at
www.tribeza.com. General
admission $75, reserved seating $100, VIP reserved seating $125 with all tickets to include entry to the event, food and beverages. TRIBEZA’s
Style Week benefits the Young Women's Alliance Foundation, an organization that
gives professional women a resource for opportunities to lead, educate,
network, and serve.
The week will end with a flourish with TRIBEZA Wedding Day on Sunday, September 23 from noon to 4:00 pm at the interContinental Stephen F. Austin Hotel, where TRIBEZA gives brides the opportunity to sit down with wedding professionals including dress designers, caterers, wedding planners, photographers and florists who will help make your big day your best day ever!
