Another Fantastic Night of Shopping at The King Collective!



Last week, fashionistas from all over New York City came to The King Collective offices as Amanda Goss hosted her first Sample Sale, featuring the Spring/Summer 2010 Islaet collection.

Guests sipped on a refreshing beverages, generously provided by WineWave and Heineken.  They perused the collection, while also getting a sneak peek at their Fall 2010 line as well (that isn't even in stores yet!) 

Islaet's "Saturday" Pants, a black vinyl pant that have the look of this season's popular Harem Pants, but fit the body to show off the figure, were tried on by multiple ladies.  In fact, the entire "Saturday" collection was a big hit!

The white leather "Sky" pieces were also very well received...almost everyone at the sale tried them on at some point!


This Thursday will be our last Sample Sale of the season, so if you would like to be invited and shop this amazing collection (which you cannot find in any stores in NYC), please follow The King Collective on Twitter or become a fan of The King Collective on Facebook.

Summer Shopping and Cocktails featuring Islaet



The King Collective hosted a sample sale for the vibrant, unique Islaet Spring/Summer 2010 collection, designed by Trine Jespersen, at our office in the Upper West Side. Celebrity stylist Mia Morgan did hosting duties, majestically floating about in a multi-colored leaf print dress by Islaet with a cascading high-low hem as she provided style advice and encouragement. Our COO Erin wore an adorable pink and gray print minidress with flutter sleeves by Islaet that harmonized gorgeously with her light auburn hair. Meanwhile CEO and Founder Keri looked like a statuesque PYT in dark wash skinny J. Brand jeans, black patent strappy Michael Kors heels, and a silky Islaet tank. 

Our daytime working quarters provided the understated yet chic backdrop to an evening filled with beautiful clothes and fashionable people. The high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, oversized mirrors and paintings by Emma Cleary provided a luxurious atmosphere to rival any Manhattan boutique.


Another treat was a preview of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection, filled with delicate silks, colorful wool blends, and plenty of options for outfits to battle the elements while looking good. All in all, it was a memorable evening shared with friends and members of The Kingdom, fabulous fashion and beverages from WineWave and Heineken Light.

            The King Collective will be hosting another Islaet Sample Sale this coming Wednesday, August 11. Please follow us at www.twitter.com/kingcollective for more details.
