Ecole Holt Couture: ECO GLAM

What does 'Couture' really mean to you? A word that gets so tossed around that it is loosing the true meaning of couture, unfortunately. 

couture
kuːˈtjʊə/
noun
  1. 1.
    the design and manufacture of fashionable clothes to a client's specific requirements and measurements.


Now that you actually know what it means (for those who didn't), what better way to really understand it than see it with your own eyes! This Sunday, November 17th, Calgary's own Ecole Holt Couture is hosting it's own Fashion Show to not only teach you the meaning of couture but ....its about Fashion, Couture, Art and Saving the Planet. 


ECO Glam is an afternoon event hosted at The Calgary Winter Club by Ecole Holt Couture. A perfect way to spend a cold Sunday indoors. This is also an event that you can bring your daughter, niece or someone under the age of 18 who may be interested in fashion as well. This event is not a +18 event, which for me, I appreciate the idea of being able to entertain my niece or cousin at, because many of the fashion events in Calgary do host their events as +18 only. Which can be unfortunate for some budding fashion designers, students, models, etc.

This is Ecole Holt Couture's 4th annual event, funds raised from hosting this event help support local charity Making Changes

Cost: General $40 and Students $30

Date: Sunday, November 17th, 2013
Location: Calgary Winter Club, 4611 14th Street NW
Time: 1pm - 5pm

All makes for another fashion event to entertain you, teach you and give back to the community.

FSHNROOM Doors Open

It's finally happening! A project I have been working on for some time, and have had to over come many obstacles to make this happen... and I mean MANY! But finally I am opening the doors to the public to come and shop locally in a new & unique environment.

FSHNROOM is a new concept that I have created to really help designers get promoted and shoppers to experience real customer service again.


Housed in a heritage building in downtown Calgary, FSHNROOM provides a space for Canadian clothing and accessory brands to showcase and sell their collections. As a division of my company, Sabrina May Public Relations & Events, each event provides a tailored promotional package to truly support these designers with getting their brand out there to the public, media and more. Events will be scheduled each month, each offering you the chance to shop from a different fashion brand. One time it may be a high end clothing brand from Toronto, another a local street wear designer and jeweler that compliment each other. The possibilities are almost endless!

FSHNROOM is also about the consumer. Offering an intimate & VIP shopping experience, which really is all about bringing the real customer service experience back. Each event will include a guest stylist who can guide you, the shopper, in how to wear & choose pieces that work best for your own personal style and closet. 
The public launch will take place Saturday November 9 between the hours of 11 am and 5 pm. This is a shopping event that will feature a designer showcasing their pieces from their most recent collection, which will be available to purchase. A guest stylist will be on hand to help make the shopping experience special for everyone. As a private residence, and to ensure that everyone enjoys the same exceptional shopping experience, an RSVP is required. Reservations are made for each hour with a limit of 15 people per hour. Reservations are first come first serve so guests should book by phone or email ASAP to get their preferred choice. There is no cost to attend. RSVPs can be made to fshnroom.HQ@gmail.com or by phone 587-293-9288. Upon arrival if no one is at the door, please call.
