Suri West Presents Its First Runway Fashion Show
Suri West held it first fashion show on March 10, 2016 and experienced tremendous support with over 300 guests in attendance. To say it was a huge success would be an understatement. The concept behind the scenes orchestrated by new owners, Maureen and John Pata, was a way to host a fashion show where local designers could showcase the hottest trends in fashion while guest enjoyed the updated and newly redesigned Suri West, formerly Coach House. The unique idea behind this runway fashion show was that if patrons saw something they liked they could purchase it that night.
With local designers, Posche Boutique and Roxy Lulu, as well as hats by Designs by Rebecca, guests were sure to see something that caught their eye. So after the show ended, they opened a beautiful tent and everyone was free to browse, touch, and take home some of the amazing looks they just saw on the runway.
The feedback from event guests was very positive as most fashion events are a look and a glance capturing the latest trends but not necessarily the ability to purchase what you see the same night. With one of the guests, Amanda Pedraza, expressing to owner and event coordinator, Maureen Pata, “I loved it, I always hate going to a show and leaving empty handed”. That was important to me said Pata, as I too always felt that was a missing element from runway fashion shows.
This was more than just one of those runway fashion shows; this was a party with DJ Supreme kicking off the night at 7:00pm. Guests dined on the beautifully lit back patio where they choose from a special “fashion show menu” and a special drink of the evening “perfect martini” made with the “Perfect Vodka”, a proud sponsor of the fashion show. After dinner the guest made their way to sit stage side along the runway where they enjoyed 45 minutes of nonstop looks featuring the latest in fashions showcased on exquisite models who had the perfect hair and makeup touches to complement each look. Edmond James Salon was responsible for creating all the fabulous hair styles on all the models seen throughout the show. Makeup was done by Aronovich Polania of Arvada.
The MC of the event was Jules Guaglardi owner of Roxy LuLu, one of the first designers of the evening. They also featured Posche Boutique of Wellington. The beautiful hats seen on the models were from “Designs By Rebecca” and jewelry was from B+ {be positive} Jewelry co. Owner and event coordinator, Maureen Pata thanked everyone for their support and a great turnout with a special thanks to the team at Suri West and much gratitude to Nicky Rogers Jimenez for all of her help and support with this event.
Suri West looks forward to more events like this in the future as a way to meet all of their returning customers and the new friendship they will make with new customers to the restaurant.
