Alexandra Grecco Trunk Show

Alexandra Grecco Trunk show

A couple weeks ago I was thrilled to attend the trunk show for my friend Alexandra at a new Williamsburg boutique Charlie and Sam (my new favorite store). It was a great setting for the launch of Alex's new vintage-inspired line, composed of rompers, dresses, shorts and tops in velvet, jersey, silk, and even sequins.

This is my favorite piece although it wasn't on display in the trunk show.
