Crystal Couture Kicks it Up a Notch
New Location, New Layout Bring a Fashionable Favorite Back to Crystal City
February 1 – 5, 2011
Media Preview January 31, 6:00 p.m.
CRYSTAL CITY, VA— With a theme of “Exotic and Elegant to Everything Everyday,” the Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with Vornado/Charles E. Smith and DC Magazine is modeling style in Crystal City at the third annual Crystal Couture from February 1 through February 5. This year, Couture finds a new home in the former food court at the Crystal City Shops @ 1750, totally transformed into a rocking runway space with great lighting, a lounge and more than 20 fabulous fashion boutiques and designers each night from around the DC area. From 6 PM to 10 PM every night, the space will be alive with runway shows, body art, and tunes from local favorites DJ Heather Femia and DeeJay Neekola.
In addition to bringing great runway and retail into the hands of fashionistas from around DC and the beltway, Crystal Couture invites creativity with the return of the t-shirt design competition. Red will fill the runway again this year on National Wear Red Day, Friday February 4th, an evening hosted by Go Red for Women and HOT 99.5’s DJ Sarah Fraser.
A special media preview will be held on January 31 at 6 PM where members of the press and bloggers alike can get a sneak peek of the action on the runway and a chance to chat up participating boutique owners, designers and event organizers.
