I've been curious about what has been going on in the SF fashion
scene. Here are some events I stumbled upon that are happening this
weekend in the Bay Area. I'm for sure checking out the sample sale at
Skunkfunk, pre-49ers playoff game against the Packers, and will be
bundled up in my red and gold fashion for the game. Whatever you do
this weekend, enjoy in in style!
FRIDAY
Faze Apparel store is hosting an art exhibit by talented local
artists Alexander Suelto and El Chavi with a clothing sale of Faze's
fine offerings. Shop, mingle, enjoy the free beverages and appetizers,
and make sure to enter the raffle for the in-store paintings that will
be produced by the artists that evening; the proceeds from the raffle
will be donated to YMCA for kids art programs.
The Crucible in Oakland is bringing back Hot Couture! The
evening will be a fusion of fashion and fire entertainment. Designers
featured include Alexandria Glowaski, Annamarta Doustourian, Avant
Vouge, "Bonde, Erin Mahoney and O'Lover Hats", Coyote Cuonter
Collective, Heather Wakefield, Jeaneen Brunck Designs, Latex
Fashionistas and SENSOREE Design Lab. It promises to be an interesting
night - what other fashion show would you be able to see a performer on a
fire-breathing violin? Cost of tickets range from $30 to $75. Standing room only and it's in the Crucible warehouse - so women, wear you highest comfortable heels and bundle up!
SATURDAY
Last day to check out the Hot Couture fashion show! Along with that, here are some other event options for Saturday:
This is a mixer for anyone interested in participating in The
Pink Gown fashion show happening on February 9th - a fashion event to
raise money for breast cancer charities. Come mingle and and meet the
organizers and find out how you can contribute to an event for a great
cause.
What better way to start a Saturday morning than with an awesome
sample sale! Funky fresh international Spanish retailer SkunkFunk is
having a two-day sample sale at both their San Francisco locations to
clear through inventory. I recommend getting there early to score the
best items. Women's, men's and accessories! Based on Yelp reviews, I
would hit up the Haight location.

Urban streetwear brand United-Taken will be the featured on the
catwalk at the Dolce & Ayman's Black Orchid event at Qi
Ultralounge. Clubs don't pick up till after midnight anyways, so break

hopping.

mob event! Check the Facebook invite for exact timing, as for now it's
