There is going to be more Than 40 of the DC Area’s Hottest Boutiques and Designers Under One Roof

Free Admission, Runway Shows and Up to 50 Percent Off Designer Fashions

CRYSTAL CITY, VA—Crystal Couture – Show and Sale, the DC area’s hottest trunk sale and fashion show, returns to Crystal City in its fourth year with an amazing array of more than 40 boutiques and designers from the Beltway and beyond (see below for the full list of participants, announced today).

Presented by the Crystal City Business Improvement District, from February 7 – 11, 2012, Crystal Couture takes over the former food court turned fashion hot spot at the Crystal City Shops, transforming the space into a shopping site, rocking runway and lounge. The one-stop shopping experience allows guests to browse discounted styles on the rack and on the runway as models showcase offerings from participating boutiques and designers. Cool off from the sizzling styles with sips from the bar, free make-up and hair makeovers, chats with wardrobe stylists and music from DJ Neekola.

Here are some photos from the media event.

At the end we were treated to a mini fashion show. But I'll hold off showing photos of the of the runway show until the actual fashion show begins.
