SMU’s first fashion week kicked off Monday evening at Preston Center’s trendy clothing boutique Tootsies. Frequented by many of SMU’s fashion-forward students, Tootsies was buzzing with shoppers enamoring over the latest spring collections and bursts of colors that flooded the runways this past fall.
By 7 p.m., the launch party was buzzing with a DJ, complimentary beverages and cocktails served on both the first and second floors, along with fashion vendors that donated goodies to the fashion week survival kit. Drinks in tote, shoppers searched for the latest trends to snag.
One of those shoppers, Jessica Gretter, a freshman business major and fashion media minor at SMU, is also a member of SMU’s retail club. She was excited to mix and mingle at Tootsies while perusing some of the latest spring trends.
“I love the bright colors this season has to offer,” Gretter said. “I love fashion and mixing and matching things, so you look well put together, but not over industry.”
