Last night was the kick off for Saint Louis Fashion Week and instead of the party being held at West County mall, I opted to attend the MWIN Style Lounge. This year the event was sponsored by the Missouri Eating Disorder Council. Now at first I thought this was kind of an odd sponsorship but eating disorders are in fact a big deal, especially in the fashion industry. This particular event is invite only, but that is after you submit a short application to attend. 

The venue this year was a little odd for a style lounge. It was confined to an area surrounding a decent size bar on the second floor of ballpark village in St. Louis. If you don't know what ballpark village is, it is basically an entertainment facility next to the Cardinals stadium (the seahawks vs the 49ers was on a HUGE screen right in front of where the style lounge was held). Anyway, this was not really a great facility to hold a style lounge in my opinion. Some of the vendors were setup on very small bar top tables on the rear side of the bar and others were on the front side but their setup was kind of awkward as well.
