Vogue Runway Retreat at New York Fashion Week Spring 2015

The lounges during Fashion Week can be fun and relaxing, yet the Vogue Runway Retreat was ultra chic. From hair stylists, to makeup artists using Urban Decay, you could get pampered like a celeb in between shows. Each guest received a gorgeous Brahmin leather cuff and a pair of Toms shoes that was specially made for the Runway Retreat. The champagne and small bites made for an all around great lounge to stop by for some downtime.

Vogue Runway Retreat at New York Fashion Week Fall 2014

 

Now that I'm done with posting on fashion shows and presentations, it's time to get to the fun part of New York Fashion Week, starting with the Vogue Runway Retreat at Bar Boulud. During the Runway Retreat on February 8th and 9th, editors and VIP guests enjoyed brasserie bites and got front-row ready with makeup touch-ups, hair styling by Pantene and OPI manicures and then posed for pics with their favorite Brahmin handbags from the Spring 2014 collection. It's always a pleasure catching up with the Vogue and Brahmin team! Thank you once again for hosting the runway retreat!

The Vogue Runway Retreat took place at Bar Boulud on September 6th-8th during New York Fashion Week. Media editors indulged in makeup touch-ups from Jane Iredale and hair styling by Pantene. After getting 'front row ready', guests were able to style their look with one of the bags from Brahmin Atelier's fall collection. Brahmin also showcased their latest tech accessories, including embossed leather iPad and iPhone 5 cases in Racing Green. 

Guests also got a sneek peak at The Eva Mendes Collection, exclusively at New York & Company, which launched on September 19th in select stores and online at nyandcompany.com.
