SF Fashion Week
Look and dress fashion-forward this week - or learn to - at San Francisco Fashion Week, which struts down the runway August 22nd to 26th. Like all fashion weeks, our city on the Bay will be stuffed with lanky models, innovative clothing, champagne, and, of course, parties! On Thursday, Harlot, that new, seductive purveyor of wine and nightlife, will throw an after-party with none other than DJ Fluid and Still Rob G rocking the decks. Then, on Friday, Level 4 of the Westfield San Francisco Center will magically transform into a sleek, sexy lounge where live jazz will flow from two-time Grammy nominee Taylor Eigsti. Saturday brings a supperclub extravaganza, replete with the club’s usual first-rate music and a live aerial performance. If you weren’t “into fashion” before, now you will be! Schedule, Tickets, More Info. (EK)
