Stoli Hotel - Evening in Vogue - 10/11/07: 5 Stars

By Carmen Allen

I attended this event and it was great. It was hosted in a large warehouse type building with exposed duct work and ultra high ceilings. As soon as you walked in you were greeted by hostesses with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Of course every cocktail was made with Stoli Vodka and they had specialty drink menus all around for you to choose from. If that was not enough they had multiple bars set up as well. The purpose of this event was to preview men's and women's fall fashions from Faconnable. The fashion show was awesome. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to be one of those where they highlight clothing you would never wear nor want and it was the total opposite. They highlighted the current styles and it was clothes you could easily wear everyday, either to work or to just hang out. I can't forget the models. They were fantastic!


After the fashion show they opened the other side of the venue. As you walked over they had a sign directing you to the Spa and Hotel. Yes, this was a spa that offers facial's and messages, etc. And down from that were the hotel rooms. There were 4 rooms furnished and staged like hotel rooms. A plush bed, elegant chairs and sofa that were placed in the sitting area with tables. They were decorated in four colors based on the flavors of Stoli Vodka. A blue room for blueberry, red for raspberry, orange for orange, and cream for vanilla stoli. Not only were these rooms comfortable for lounging, but "what a clever idea"! Clearly others loved it as well. People poured in to find a place in each room to relax and enjoy the themed decor. The other cool thing about it was that people moved from room to room mingling and openly talking with each other.


Loved it!!! I give the event the highest rating of 5 Stars!
