March 20, 2014 (New York, New York)– Getting dressed in the morning just got a lot easier with the help of Tipsters – – designer Eileen Fisher’s bevy of style experts – – who offer the best personal style advice and inspire women to find bliss within their wardrobe. On Saturday, March 22, 2014, Saks Fifth Avenue will host an EILEEN FISHER event in Richmond, VA featuring Tipster Amanda Meakim and Guest Tipster Lauren Rothman from 2 to 4, with a fashion show starting at 2:30 showcasing the Spring 2014 Collection.
This event is the perfect time to get “up-to-the-minute” how to wear style advice, straight from key trends. From the latest work style to everyday chic style, get advice on how to pair hot items, like denim with your favorite tailored jacket, and how to dress in sustainable fashion.
Shoppers who attend the EILEEN FISHER Tipster event, will have a chance to support a great cause. Eileen Fisher will donate Five percent (5%) of the day’s proceeds to The Visual Arts Center of Richmond. Also, Saks Fifth Avenue Richmond will donate Ten percent (10%) of the day’s proceeds February 21 and 22 to the Visual Arts Center of Richmond.
The Visual Arts Center of Richmond engages the community in the creative process through the visual arts. One of the many programs that The Visual Arts Center of Richmond funds is SOHO’s (Space Of Her Own). Their mission is to give each participant unique, hands-on art experiences in order to cultivate a positive view of her future along with the motivation and ability to be strong, confident and creative leaders.
Lauren A. Rothman, also known as the Styleauteur, is a fashion, style, and trend expert. Lauren has her finger on the pulse of fashion—from shopping closets across the country to discussing executive presence, political style, and First Family fashions on Entertainment Tonight, CNN, E! News, The Insider, AP News, Reuters, and ABC News. She is greatly sought after as a stylist, and her tips on wardrobe management and creating a versatile, fashion-forward closet have been featured in Glamour, Real Simple, People StyleWatch, The Washington Post, The New York Post, Politico, as well as on NPR, and XM/Sirius radio. Lauren writes a column, Fashion Whip, for The Huffington Post, on style and politics, and maintains an image therapy practice working with individual and corporate clients to help increase their style quotient.
