Tribeza's Fourth Annual Style Week Begins
After a long, hot summer, it’s time to check out Austin’s new fall fashions and get in the mood for shopping. Tribeza’s Fourth Annual Style Week is right around the corner—Wednesday through Sunday, to be exact—and there are plenty of fun events open to the public.
Style Week is kicking off with a happy hour at By George’s South Congress location, where you can nibble on goodies from Cissi’s Market and peruse the flirty fashions.
The Boutique Crawl is a traveling caravan of boutique shoppers taking off at 6 p.m. Thursday. Each shop will have hors d'oeuvres, drinks, prizes, discounts, and live entertainment. The tour spans from North, Central and South Austin, so crawlers can start downtown and make their way to The Domain. Participating boutiques include Peyton’s Place, Adelante, Girl Next Door, Touch of Sass, Soigné, SoLa, Sana, Solid Gold, The Royal Family, Octane, Calypso, Intermix, David Yurman, and Louis Vuitton.

The climax of Style Week is the Fashion Show at the Blanton Museum of Art on Friday. Already a regionally popular fashion event, the runway show spotlights some of the brightest designers in Central Texas and pulls an audience from all over Texas. This year models will wear looks from Envie Boutique, Estilo, Fetish, The Garden Room, Girl Next Door, Keepers, and Valentine’s Too. Buy tickets early and save your spot among Austin’s fashion flock.
Tribeza’s final event is Wedding Day on Sunday at the Stephen F. Austin Hotel. This free extravaganza puts all the best wedding photographers, dress designers, caterers, and event planners in one banquet hall. It’s a one-stop shop for all those gals wanting a perfect dream day.

Per the Tribeza link you provide, the boutique crawl is on Thursday not Wednesday.
Also per the picture you posted :)
I am so sick of Tribeza acting like they are the bastion of style and fashion in Austin, when in fact they do very little to spotlight rising designers and instead continuously host "fashion" events which are mostly boutiques throwing their merchandise on a runway.
Between Tribeza's trumped up self-flattering style events and the untrained craft mafia (read: exclusive favoritism between no-talents) of the DIY show Stitch, the real up and coming designers slip through the cracks completely, along with the opportunity to have a true fashion week in Austin. Thumbs down.
