Whomever said that fashion does not exist in San Francisco surely did not attend Saturday night’s SF Fashion Week cocktail party. Designers, fashionistas, trendsetters, and other fashion luminaries congregated at the W Hotel to celebrate the launch of SF Fashion Week’s new citywide style campaign.
True to San Francisco style, the turnout brought an eclectic mix of trendy, super chic, sweetly demure, avant-garde, and casual cool. Down-tempo grooves resonated on the speakers, while the stylish crowds lounged on velvet plush seating and clustered around tabletops decorated with licorice centerpieces. Many of the designers presenting at this year’s SF Fashion Week were dolled-up in their original designs, or had models circulating the room with their latest creations.
Check out some shots from the night.
