Robin Richman Swap and Shop - June 24th

A Really Haute Swap
Cut the Fat & Get Something Fresh

'Swap & Shop' June 24^th 5 - 7 PM 2108 North Damen

Plan on being at Robin Richman June 24th from 5 - 7 for a reprise of last year's well received 'Swap and Shop.'

Come in with tagged, already priced items you no longer wear, a few precious pieces that don't suit you anymore, and get ready to swap for something you'll love. It's the best kind of recycling you can do.

Sell your items (cash only) - or better yet, swap with the fashionable ladies that will be setting up beside you. Robin requests all bring "gently used designer clothes, shoes [and] jewelry from the Robin Richman store and the like to sell and swap."

A party after our own heart - and at a store we truly love - come in with something to Robin-like share ready to crush a cup of wine with the hostess herself.

RSVP to the store appreciated but not required: 773.278.6150

Major News!

Get Glam for a Cause
And . . . PARTY, PARTY, PARTY !!!

So Daphne Guinness, the patron saint of The Haute Closet, is being an angel again, having scooped up the entire estate of the late Isabella Blow, the inimitable fashion luminary, daring hat-wearer and discoverer of the dearly departed Alexander McQueen. You can read about the major fashion acquisition here. Major love and thanks to Daphne for saving the treasure.

And! In other news, The Haute Closet is proudly hosting the event at the GUESS Michigan Avenue flagship tomorrow. 500 fashion lovers, cocktails, GUESS and Lucky Mag there to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, a mission possible organization very near and dear to our hearts. An organization that, you never know, is probably helping out a future fashion designer right now. So come out, make a purchase, donate and feel good about some fun summer accessories or swishy dresses - and, of course, GUESS denim - to wear around town, on a hot date, or at our favorite Chicago event: Lollapalooza.

What, you haven't already planned your Lolla wardrobe? You better: We'll be seeking style-setters on the festival grounds, photographing and interviewing those whose style we love for Lucky Mag and Lucky Online.

Come to GUESS tomorrow 7- 9 and get some style advice from The Haute Closet, a mini-makeover and a photograph of you in your favorite GUESS look. You can rock it. Just wait 'til you see our outfit.

Hello, jackpot. SARCA is for the woman who loves fashion, isn't afraid to wear color or splash out on the season's must haves.

Totally of the moment, the siren song of the store is super high heels with pulled together, uptown going downtown looks.

Texture, volume, color and structure characterize the buy. Well-edited, you'll leave with something you'll love and wear a lot - but it isn't going to be basic. From t-shirts to bikinis, fur coats to formal wear, the store is dripping in the stuff to attach your confidence.
