| North Loop Sidewalk Sale |
This weekend was an exciting one for all local Austin fashionistas. First off, the
North Loop Shopping District hosted their Spring Sidewalk Sale from noon to 9 p.m., designated by the Austin Independent Business Alliance. However, this was no ordinary sale. The North Loop Sidewalk Sale featured indie shops with special sales, events, and in-store performances. There were 23 independently owned business that showcased their goods. Plenty of cute vintage items could even be found between the price range of $1-$15!
Also this weekend, the Domain played host to Simon Fashion Now, a yearly event in which
Simon Malls around the country hold runway shows to highlight the upcoming trends for the season. The fashion at a mall show is obviously not supposed to intrigue and inspire your wardrobe creativity, but rather to inspire you to buy these wearable items. Everything that walked the runway was safe and well put together. This was definitely different from your usual outrageous couture runway shows, which was good but slightly boring. However, the biggest difference between a big corporate fashion show compared to the spontaneous local Austin shows is that the models are professional and actually know how to walk the runway. The Simon Fashion Now show gave you a real look at what trends we can expect to see in stores right now and in the next couple of months. According to these shows, it looks like bright colors, color blocking, crochet tops and floppy beach hats are in for summer.
