Conscious Fashionistas - Thrift Couture Shopping Party

Saturday, November 8, 2008
8:00 p.m.-2:00 a.m.
at
CELLspace
2050 Bryant Street
(between 18th and 19th Streets)
San Francisco, CA 94110

Change your look while keeping the change in your wallet.

At our next Conscious Fashionistas Shopping Event we will style you silly, dress you funky, green your wardrobe, but also pink, yellow, and purple it up. We’ll create outfits that turn heads and have people stop you in the street asking, “Where did you get that?!” All at a price that will keep you smiling.

On Saturday, November 8th, let us serve you inventive cocktails while beautiful paintings by Michele de la Menadiere grace the walls. Shop thrift till you lift, when belly dancers from Electric Vardo dance us into the Conscious Fashionistas fashion show, with models strutting our gear down the runway. Afterwards hit the dance floor to the sounds of our favorite DJs.

Come and shop for amazing clothes that will transform you, too, into a Conscious Fashionista. We’ll provide a sexy shopping atmosphere and expert advice on which items suit your personality and look.

While we don’t have clothes for them yet, boyfriends, male lovers and husbands absolutely LOVE our events, or so says one of our favorite husbands:
“It was a pleasure to go shopping with my wife at the last Conscious Fashionistas event because I didn’t have to wait forever for her or become bored as I do at a mall or at a shop on the street. I had so much fun, hanging out with my friends, dancing, drinking, and getting to know everybody! You guys already pick the best pieces so my wife doesn’t have to dig around and wait in a slow line just to buy expensive stuff only to get attitude from an underpaid cashier. I’ll be at every event!”
- Carlos Pena Garrido

Conscious Fashionistas is embarking on CF To Go! What does that mean? It means that in between our large-scale events (mark November 8, 2008 on your calendar for our next event and stay tuned here for further details), we’ll be hitting the streets to participate in community gatherings around the Bay.

Our first community event is Mona Caron’s Mural Unveiling in Noe Valley on Saturday, September 27th from 2:00-5:00 p.m. Conscious Fashionistas will have a booth and the thrift couture, you bring your lovely selves, your pocketbook, and we’ll celebrate all things community!

Private fashion consultations, the coat that started it all that sold, the blouse from one Conscious Fashionista that sold to a client right off the fashionista’s back…plus sexy fashions strutting down the runway straight into the biodegradable shopping bags of our clients, four hours of the dirtiest of dancing, dressing room friendships, and late night acrobatic circus routines from flexible fashionistas off swinging clothing racks…these are just a few of the highlights from Conscious Fashionistas Thrift Couture Shopping Party on Saturday night.

Stay tuned for some video and photographs, but in the meantime, while you’re strutting the real world runway and that certain someone stops you on the street to ask, “Where’d you get that?” Just smile and say CF. They’ll love you for it.

Love,
Your Favorite Conscious Fashionistas
Amanda, Madison, Nayomi, and Poonam
