Austin Social Agenda: Aug. 16-22
Presenting more than 100 events, Austin Fashion Week trumps all other social activities for next few days.
Tuesday, after a tiny VIP Party at Beyond Tradition, the public will gather for the “Shoe+Hat: Fashion+Art” showing at the Designer Clearance House. (1970 Stephen Sondheim lyric: “Does anyone still wear a hat?”)
Wednesday, Rebels Honky Tonk morphs into a rodeo carnival for a Fashion Week round-up. Earlier, one could drop by “Fashion for Compassion” at Bead It, or “Cupcakes, Cocktails, Makeovers & Fashion” at Lovely Austin Boutique. “Lights, Camera … Fashion!” invites the paparazzi to Touch of Sass/Jackson-Ruiz.
Thursday, West Second Street is the locus for parties such as “Get Nailed into Fashion Week,” which matches Beyond Tradition with designer Tracy Tenpenny (logo pictured), and BoConcept’s strangely punctuated “Mod (blank).” Others will join “A State of Fashion” on the steps of the Texas Capitol.
Saturday night is dominated by Austin Fashion Awards at the Long Center. Afterwards, we might squeeze out the last drops of the Aye Eye Ball at the Off Center, but not Que Maravilla way out at TDS Exotic Game Ranch.
Sunday, the Italian Festival returns to Laguna Gloria. Perhaps we’ll drop by the pre-party for the Brian Jones Celebrity Class Golf Tournament at the University of Texas Golf Club on the same day.
Not directly related to Fashion Week is the annual Studio 54 bash at Kiss & Fly on Friday. One stray daytime event: Cupcake Smackdown 2.0 at Le Cordon Bleu near the Domain on Saturday. Stay away from the cupcake canon.
