After the glitz and glamor of the champagne reception, Fashion Week will be starting the week proper with the first in a series of Breakfast Lectures. The fun kicks off tomorrow morning at 10.00am with coffee, cake, and a lecture on the do’s and don’ts of alteration work, to be delivered by a guest speaker from Elanthian Elegance. This will be held in the Landing Hall, Auditorium (lich # 385, go door, west, go oak door). Please note that this will be an IC discussion on how to tackle alters with hints and tips on making the most of your time with a merchant. All OOC questions should be kept to group whispers wherever possible.

At 2.00pm, there will be an informal discussion about trends in the elegant surroundings of the refurbished Atelier in Elaraeyn's Boutique (lich # 24595). Refreshments will again be provided and we are expecting a special guest so come prepared with something that’s tired or outdated and hopefully leave with something fashionable!
