WHERE: 555 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11211

Time: 7 p.m.

AprilMarin was created out of a deeply rooted love for fashion. Creators April Bukofser and Marin Milio designed AprilMarin to offer women a classic, yet contemporary line of quality-made clothing. The idea behind AprilMarin is to offer affordable, chic, classic,  clothing for women of all sizes.

Ladies, this event promises to be AMAZING!  They will be showcasing some of their latest designs which can be purchased at this event.  You don’t want to miss this!!  The clothes are amazing and the price points are even better!! The prices range from $150-$195.  Their designs can be seen on Wendy Williams (How you doin’?) and the women of the Real Housewives of New Jersey!!!

Hope to see you there!

Anavaa Kisasa goes beyond affordable fashion fare. In addition to owner Zulema George’s own line of smart, high quality, leather handbags, she helps promote young up-and-coming designers, locally- and internationally-based, including many emerging Caribbean designers, by introducing their work in her boutique on Metropolitan Ave, (just off of the Lorimer stop on the L train). A handful of those burgeoning designers’ works were recently profiled during fashion week held last month by independent label support organization Nolcha.

In fact, Nolcha tapped Anavaa Kisasa to be a “retail incubator” to help young designers gain footing in the fashion market, a cornerstone of George’s philosophy behind Anavaa Kisasa.

Among the better-selling labels at the store include UNDFND, Ally Marie Couture Jewelry and leather-goods line Jypsea, alongside George’s own handbag line. George’s 2010 collection got some good exposure Oct. 7 at the Bagtrends.com Arm Candy party, which served double-duty as a US launch party for her season of bags which were first unveiled in Toronto, a week earlier.

“We get people from all walks here,” says sales associate Tiffiny E. Dixon of the store’s clientele, “from straight-up corporate lifers to band members to photographers. People enjoy quality that’s not breaking the bank.”

Community outreach is important to George. The boutique sponsored a team for last Sunday’s American Cancer Society, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. George, who’s taken part in several of them, notes the prevalence of breast cancer affecting so many women including among her own circle of loved ones.

Anyone wishing to join Anavaa Kisasa’s fashion cause should visit the store’s website theAKstyle.com. While you’re there, check out her bag collection, and also keep up with her upcoming events, including the AprilMarin trunk show on Oct 29.

On Sunday, October 18, The AK Style Team showed our support by walking for a GREAT cause–Breast Cancer Awareness, sponsored by the American Cancer Society -Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.  Yes, we walked in Prospect Park along with hundreds of men, women and children to honor and remember every person who has faced breast cancer.

Despite the inclement weather, the team showed up, dressed in layers and geared up to do our part and show our support.  It was cold, no freezing, and raining but that did  not stop us!  As the inscription on the James Farley Post Office states “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”.

When you think about what those who suffer from cancer have to endure, it is NOTHING compared to a little cold and rain. And that was our motivation.  The team started the walk TOGETHER, finished the walk TOGETHER, and helped to make a difference TOGETHER!  Thanks to everyone that supported both financially and spiritually.

Ummm hello…Jan from ‘The Office’
