Squasht is leaving town. Come say goodbye at sale.
Everyone’s invited to a Trunk Show tomorrow, June 21 from 11- 4 pm at Suite 100 at the Pageant. It will not be the last you’ll see of Lesley Tempe (she’s got family here and some shops that carry her merchandise so she’ll be back), but this would be a nice opportunity to buy some of her original designs on sale and wish her luck before she leaves in two weeks.
The show will also feature items from Love Bird Jewelry and STL designer Miriam Coffey.
Squasht by Les’s asthetic has a handmade quality but the people who wear her stuff don’t look like Suzy homemaker. The clothes are consciously hip in a unique grudge pop sort of way, but not trendy. And her silhouettes are great for a variety of body shapes, not just the waif-set.
Some of the other designers featured at Suite 100 are AngelRox, Alternative Apparel, Cardboard Robot, Mosquitohead, Blood is the New Black, 99 Dealers amd Me Against the World. Now, doesn’t that sond like a happy-go-lucky bunch.
If nothing else, stop by to socialize at the new espresso bar and enjoy the very cool graphics on the walls. And, if you’re clever, you may notice that there’s another Tempe on display in the shop (Lesley’s brother’s artwork). For the uninitiated, here’s the address and a link to the website:
6161 Delmar, Suite 100
