The week two celebration takes place 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, with six designers and a performance by Chase Dean.
Two years deserves two weeks of celebrations, and Therapy boutique owner Tina Wary will be hosting Week Two from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 12, showcasing designs by local brands and designers Angry Lady Bug, Organik, La'akea Designs, Roberta Oaks, HI State of Mind, and Val Loh Designs.
The first celebration took place Nov. 5 at the Kahala Mall boutique, when Tina welcomed Moopiland's Keiko Knudson, ccdoodle's Christy Chung, Gem Parfait's Allison Fujita, Ecolicious' Dexter Doi and Carol D'Angelo, and Umee Honolulu's Deena White Tearney. Bangles by Erin were also featured, though the designer couldn't be there. There were pre-holiday discounts on merchandise offered by the featured designers.
Those who attended were also treated to a fabulous food spread created by Tina's husband Ed, he of Auntie Pasto's and Dixie Grill fame. There was enough of a spread to have made it onto my food blog, but I thought I'd keep it all here. Wonder if he'll top himself at this coming Saturday's event?
Salty Girl Jewelry's Amber Chesebro with her mom Wendy Olsen, who inspired her daughter's jewelry making by teaching her how to create macrame as a child, and who always kept beads and findings around the house for her own projects.
The food spreads are generally light at fashion parties, where everyone's trying to be thin, but hey, when you're a boutique owner married to a restaurateur, as in Auntie Pasto's and Dixie Grill's Ed Wary, you've got a built-in caterer who wants to make an impression. More food follows! ...
