September 1st was an amazing evening! WE had our Fall Fashion show at Park Royal and flew in Flare Magazines editor-in-chief Lisa Tant to give us her exclusive Fall Trend Presentation showcasing what is being seen on runways around the globe.
The show took place right outside our WE Park Royal concept store at 7:30 where over 300 guests and local celebs mingled amongst two bars (which featured a delicious martini made with Elephant Island fruit wine), food from Kiss Catering and live music spun by DJ Q-pid.
BTV’s Dawn Chubai, emceed the evening 
and opened up the night with a brief intro before passing the mic to Lisa Tant who wowed the crowd with a rundown on the must-have’s for this Fall 2009.
The top trends to look out for this season?
- Over-the-knee boots
- Bold shoulders
- Printed shift dresses
- Bright outerwear
- Denim leggings
- Leather! Jackets, boots, belts, and bags in an assortment of colors and textures.
You can get ALL of these PLUS the rest of the trends touched on in WE stores NOW!
Following the show, guests had fun browsing through our Park Royal store to buy all of the looks showcased and more. A few of the outfits shown in the show sold out immediately so if you have your eye on one, get to the WE store nearest you quick! And don’t forget that $25 gift certificate WE tucked inside your goody bag that was filled with the September issue of Flare, Purdy’s brand new “Swiss Milk Collection” chocolates, a travel kit of Riversol Skin Care, a lovely Lancome fragrance sample and coupon, tasty Apple Chips from Elephant Island Winery, and a gift certificate from Absolute Spa. WE were spoiled indeed!
