David Lawrence concludes Bellevue Fashion Week with 400 Friends!

David Lawrence concludes Bellevue Fashion Week with 400 Friends!The line ran from Fashion Axis all way down Northeast 8th Street. It was still a little before 7.00pm. The line would continue for another 30 minutes. Had Apple opened a new store? Hardly. With fashion week winding down in downtown Bellevue, there was only one way to end what most will call a successful second year for this event: the David Lawrence Fall Fashion Spectacular. At the end all will agree, the music was great, the models were hot, and the clothes…amazing! As for the guests? Beautiful to say the least…The event was packed and roughly 400 tickets were sold with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

If you missed it, you missed out. Guests enjoyed martinis and champagne before the show commenced; a great fashion show; and an afterparty back at David Lawrence in Bellevue Square where guests were served drinks and snacks. Needless to say, the place was packed and people were shopping!

While the night’s event was grand, the Downtown Bellevue Network sat down with David, the owner and founder of David Lawrence, the night before to talk fashion!
