Kitsilano Kitty's Closet Creates the Frugal Fashionista Market for Retailers, Designers and the Shopping Masses

On April 14th, online fashion boutique Kitsilano Kitty's Closet is inviting Vancouverites to shop at the Anza Club (#3-8th Avenue West) for their favorite brands, designers and discover new ones at the launch of the Frugal Fashionista Market. A newly created fashion and lifestyle market that focuses on affordability for shoppers with an eye for a bargain and a love for the great deal.

Invited are popular retailers, local designers, consignment stores and glamorous hoarding fashionista. All of which are encouraged to purge their shops and closets of sale items, out of season styles, deadstock, hard to move items then offer them to the public at 50-70% off regular retail pricing.

"Through KitsilanoKittysCloset.com we sell new, pre-loved, vintage and consignment fashions worldwide and that means we must stock all seasons of styles and trends. We are busting at the seams after an amazing winter of style-picking and incredible consignment deals," says Helen Siwak, owner/manager, "so we can sympathize with storefront retailers who have a limited amount of space to stack boxes and boxes of product that isn't on the floor. Our solution? Create a fashion market with amazing discounts to clear house!"

In addition to clothing and footwear, the Frugal Fashionista Market will be showcasing Kitsilano Kitty's Closet's new 'Made to Order' artists Andrea Tucker's Whimsical Pet Portraits, Blossom Beads by Moldovan artist Mariana Minzu and Courtney Ellerman's line of wooden bead necklaces for the urban male.

Textura Salon in Kitsilano has come on board as the official sponsor of the event and will be supplying raffle prizes and styling tips. "Anyone who has met Beth Lutgu at Textura knows what a fashionista she is. She can't deny it! Always looking fantastic and standing all day in those amazing heels. Bailey and Joti consistently deliver the highest quality cuts/styles and the space itself is so welcoming and chic" explains Helen on her sponsor choice.

This fantastic fashion market will be hosted by the notorious and uber-connected Tracy Cake of Tracy Cake Make-up & More with food/beverage service provided with a nod towards healthy and vegan bites. Holding true to their environmental and animal rights views this is a pet friendly and fur-free event with partial proceeds benefiting VOKRA and Friends of Animals Nea Filadelphia.
