Fashion May End In The Glamour Zone, But Its Beginnings Sure Are Humble

 So in my attempt to keep out of debtor”s prison, but not work a conventional 9-5, my retail friend, (aren”t they just super good for tid-bits on knowledge on so many subjects?), hooked me up as a sample sale worker at the Steve Alan Show Room in downtown Manhattan.

Yesterday was start-up, day one and consisted of arranging accessories, purses, belts, shoes and what not….folding, oh the folding…of sweaters, building clothing racks, and carrying massive amounts of boxes back and forth from show room to retail store and then breaking them down.

Fashion may end in the glamour zone, but its beginnings sure are humble.

Think lots of dust, loose paint chips and sugar cookie lunches Well since gofg readers are fashion mavens and in this down turned economy sales are even radder, check it out it starts Wednesday. Though I “m not at liberty to divulge all the brand for sale for cheap believe me…HOT

    Everything else on the internets says it starts Thursday. Is this just to allow those awesome people in the know a full day of non-mobbed action? What time does it open on Wednesday?

  2. TongueUntied - May 13th, 2008

    Yeah- Wed or Thurs? Inquiring Minds…

  4. emptymoneytree - May 13th, 2008

    do you mind saying when the press will start getting access to the sale?

  5. TongueUntied - May 14th, 2008

    What constitutes press here? I’m media/journalism, not fashion. Shall I wield my biz card?

    you spelled steven alan wrong.

  7. Anonymous - May 14th, 2008

    I believe the Steven Alan sample sale starts Thursday at 8:30 AM. I go every time, and they always start on Thursday and end on Sunday. I’m not aware of a press day, but as with every other designer sale, if you didn’t get info straight from the source (ie: a personal invite) or you’re not on a list, you don’t get in.
