We invite you to join us for a fabulous trunk show featuring a couple of our favorite Los Angeles designers in person, Enza Costa and Georgia Fletcher, Saturday July 10th from 11am-4pm at Wendy Foster Dress Shop.

Enza Costa is famous for using fantastic tissue weight fabrics in her collection that are meant to layer seamlessly over one another. Her tanks, dresses, and tees are deliberately cut in the 1930’s style so that each layered piece flatters the body without adding bulk or extra width.

Georgia Fletcher designs exquisite vintage one-of-a-kind necklaces that are sold throughout the world. Each piece is beautifully handmade, authentic, and celebrates a span of religions.

Come and meet such creative artists with light eats and summer drinks Saturday July 10th!
