Fashionistas rejoice! The first Festival of Fashion takes place this weekend at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. On Sept. 6 and 7, more than 70 of the famed retail space’s boutiques, shops and restaurants will take part in the celebration of all things stylish and chic. Be prepared for trunk and fashion, live DJ’s, guest appearances, product demonstrations and more.
Festival of Fashion.
On Friday, Sept. 6 from 7 p.m.–10 p.m. and on Saturday, September 7 from 1 p.m.–3 p.m. and again 7 p.m.–10 p.m., the Fortuna Terrace near the casino entrance to The Forum Shops presents a rock and roll-themed fashion show with a live DJ and models set on a giant record on a turntable. The Fountain of the Gods becomes the scene of a Hollywood-style fashion shoot, where experts are touching up makeup at Dior Beauty and Sephora. Smile when you see the flashes, darling. That’s the “paparazzi” angling to get your photo.
The list of retailers participating reads like a dream shopping spree wish list, including: Agent Provocateur, Anthropologie, bebe, Bettie Page, Casa Fuente, Chrome Hearts, Citta delle Luci, Coach, Diane von Furstenberg, DKNY, Donald J Pliner, Elie Tahari, Fendi, H&M, Henri Bendel, Jimmy Choo, John Varvatos, Juicy Couture, Kiehl’s Since 1851, M Missoni, MAC Cosmetics, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Montblanc, Swarovski, Ted Baker London, The Walking Company, Thomas Pink, Tommy Bahama and True Religion.
If you’re more of a fashionable eater, The Forum Shops’ many restaurants have cocktail specials to sip in style. The Palms Las Vegas has a Pink Sky strawberry lemonade, while Sushi Roku gets right to the point with $1 Pineapple Fusion or Raspberry Volito shots. Other dining hotspots such as P.J. Clarke’s, Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab, Max Brenner and the newly opened Carmine’s NYC Italian Family Restaurant feature their own signature cocktails as part of the fashionable weekend.
You can even register to win one of four, 500 dollars Forum Shops shopping sprees during the two-day event just for showing up.
