The Style Show is an evening of shopping, live music and entertainment with a runway show of must-have fashions for winter. Fashion retailers will be on display with tables of merchandise for guests to browse and shop. One lucky winner will receive a luxury gift basket of accessories, certificates and specialty items. The first 500 attendees will receive a gift bag containing Estée Lauder Companies, Inc. beauty products, as well as other goodies.

“The Style Show is a celebration of more than a year of fashions and trends you read about each month on the Style pages of PITTSBURGH magazine,” said Reese Randall, the magazine’s fashion editor for the last seven years. “With each year, the Pittsburgh fashion community continues to grow its wealth of specialty boutiques, shops and couture designers. With the introduction of the magazine’s new Style department this past year, we were able to highlight fashion, shopping and entertaining.”

“Covering fashion has been a vital part of PITTSBURGH magazine's offerings for more than 30 years,” said Betsy Benson, publisher/editor of the magazine. “Today, we are observing an upswing in our city's fashion consciousness. The Style Show is our way of highlighting this exciting change.”

Women’s retailers participating in The Style Show are Carabella, E.B. Pepper, Full Moon Rising, Iman B., Jake & Mabel, Kaufmann’s, Lazarus-Macy’s, Little Black Dress, Maxalto, Palm Place, Pittsburgh Jeans Co., Saks Fifth Avenue and Sugar Boutique. Men’s retailers are Charles Spiegel, Kaufmann’s, Lazarus-Macy’s, Moda and Saks Fifth Avenue. The jewelry retailer is Caesar’s Designs Jewelry Creations.

Hair and make-up is under the direction of John Vella of Salon Vivace.
