District L

For many New Yorkers, this past week marked their first “earthquake,” as well as their first “hurricane.” Air quotes aside, it has been an eventful few days – on Twitter, at the very least.

Now, with the onset of New York Fashion Week, we face another highly anticipated whirlwind of events. And while a shower of invitations had entered our 10-day forecast, we were not predicting hail.

Despite our own miscalculated predictions, hailstones arrived in our mailbox – two transparent cubes imprinted with the specifics for Sally LaPointe’s SS12 runway show in microscopic font. Sally LaPointe, known for her show-stopping collections and innovative invites, continues to outdo herself each season. With cube invitations and an impervious reputation, our RSVP is crystal clear.

After owning her own boutique in the Lower East Side for over two years and filling up my closet for the past six months, Lois Eastlund has secured a runway spot with Antavenues for New York Fashion Week. On Monday, February 14, Lois will be presenting her Fall 2011 collection at Studio 580, located on 580 8^th Avenue. The event commences with an hour-long cocktail reception and art presentation at 7:00pm, and leads into a collaborative runway showcase at 8:00pm.

Normally, there are only two prerequisites to obtaining a District L RSVP: Cocktails and photographers. So if you’re showcasing a DL friend and favorite, you can guarantee that we’ll clear our evening – and possibly the next morning too.
