18 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday February 28, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com FASHION&BEAUTY What is a Trunk Show? Every store views a Designer's Collection and then chooses the styles they feel their customer will like. When you see the Linda Lundström or Ribkoff Collection in Chatsworth & Hall it has already been sharply edited by our Buying Team. No store has the room or the budget to order every one of the styles, in every colour and every size available. The Trunk Show is a wonderful opportunity for our Customers who love fashion to view the Collection in its entirety, just as the designer presented it. It's a chance to be a Fashion Buyer and put together your own unique look, and also an opportunity to catch the current fashion trends before they reach the marketplace. There will be expert company representative on hand to help and a small deposit is all that's required to place your order. Your outfits will be made specifically for you and delivered in the Fall, just when you'll want to wear them. We usually offer a nice discount plus a gift-with-purchase. Sounds like lots of fun?
