Women are sooooo busy here in NY, always on the go yet they still want to look their best in a city where most women are single...
The Speed Styling event by SACHIKA took place at Avitto Shoe Store located at 424 West Broadway. The place was packed and crowded on Sunday May 31st 2009.Photo by Cass

We turned speed dating into something event better: SPEED STYLING.
Women get the opportunity to come to a venue where fashion and beauty experts such as fashion stylists, hair stylists, makeup artists, handbag and accessory stylists and shoe specialist come together to give each woman a speedy approx 5 min personalized tip session based on their body type, face structure, lifestyle, fashion needs etc. Each woman left with a SPEED STYLING result card which states which items/styles are best suited for her. As a bonus, we also added some discounts from each vendor if they decide to purchase products/services. The best part? This new and innovative concept was complimentary as the speed styling, cocktails, hors-d'oeuvres, music, discounts, all was FREE!

So we threw our first SACHIKA speed styling event on Sunday May 31st 2009 at the shoe store AVITTTO located at 424 West Broadway and Spring in Soho. They carry shoes for men and women and they are fabulous!!! All Italian shoes, top quality. Just for the event, the owner Avi offered an additional 20% discount on all merchandise. WOW!
For the makeup we had PAMELA TAYLOR MAKEUP ACADEMY. She did a wonderful job and many many ladies were lining up to get a speed complimentary makeover...she offered 20% discount as well for her services to the ladies who attended for their next visit.

For hair, we had the dynamic duo at MINT THE SALON who came to give their precious advice to women based on their face structure, hair type, hairstyle and cut an color for summer/spring 2009. The ladies gave a $50 rebate on their services...These women will give you the perfect haircut and color for YOUR FACE! WOW!

We had the pleasure to work for the first time with a lovely trio of gorgeous women: B & B and Blush Boutique. From left to right: Alisa, Wanda and Alicia are Interior Designers by trade whose passion for style led them to host handbag and accessory events selling amazing imported Italian handbags, accessories ( wallets, belts) and gorgeous jewelry. At they event, they offered $50 off all their handbags...Their handbags are pure bliss!!!Stay tuned as they are launching their online boutique very soon!

And of course, all women had the opportunity to touch, feel, try on and purchase our dresses as they can usually be purchased online at http://www.sachika.com only. We loved it, there were women everywhere walking around looking stunning in SACHIKA dresses. It was truly fun to have a direct contact with our clients...and to be able to give them fashion tips according to their needs. The event was a HUGE SUCCESS. It was was PACKED!!! Aj Calloway came to the event to grace the Red Carpet and conduct some interviews (he was being interviewed and not interviewing for once)...
