Flirt Boutique provides the perfect venue as the store specializes in unique, feminine clothing.
The event marks the kick-off to a series of similar events in which LED will be showcasing the Mirage Collection at select boutiques throughout Southern California and Texas.

Prior to the Flirt Event, LED will be showing at the STILO Fashion Show Benefit for Safeplace at Vicci Lounge on Friday, May 16th.

A new online store that introduces shoppers to an innovative way to buy chic, trendy clothing launched this week, filling a major void in the marketplace. ClearanceJunkie.com is a new online store dedicated to providing shoppers with stylish, upscale fashion at astounding discount prices. The inventory sold on the site is comprised of overstock apparel from boutiques across the country, or apparel that has made its way to the clearance rack of a boutique.
ClearanceJunkie.com also carries merchandise from independent designers, so the inventory is constantly changing and updated to ensure that consumers not only get the best deals, but they get the best fashions as well.
With the rising prices of gas and food, people generally are not focused on fashion right now. Buying apparel is just not a priority when people have to spend more money on basic items such as eggs and bread. In a recent article on MSNBC.com, sources mentioned that shoppers, especially female shoppers, just haven't had apparel on their radar screen in recent months.
Sources in the article also state that although the clothing retail industry is suffering, they expect to see stores fare better as they adopt a more conservative approach that better matches consumers' more penny-pinching ways. ClearanceJunkie.com is the answer to that more conservative approach.
Unlike competitors, ClearanceJunkie.com only sells fashion. The online store does not sell a hodgepodge of items such as electronics, toys, furniture or other items that consumers often find on other online stores. The variety of styles that ClearanceJunkie.com offers, and the fact that the inventory only comes from high-end boutiques and the most fashion forward designers, also makes ClearanceJunkie.com unique. F.A.M.E. Fashion Agency, the agency dedicated to providing exposure for independent designers and boutiques, created ClearanceJunkie.com to offer the same exceptional brands that fashion savvy consumers are used to purchasing, but at a fraction of the retail price.
The Topman Sunglasses Project, which follows on from last season's White Shirt Project, will be the second in a series of ongoing projects where Topman has invited a selection of designers to interpret their ideas of a certain product.
The five designers creating sunglasses for this season are Bernhard Willhelm, Kim Jones, Oliver Spencer, 0044 and Linda Farrow Vintage along with Topman Design.
Gordon Richardson, Topman Design and Product Development Director commented on the launch:
"With the recent phenomenal growth in the men's fashion accessories arena in the past year; it's particularly apt that Topman's follow-on to the successful White Shirt Project is The Classic Sunglasses Project. Once again working with a selection of eminent designers who have each interpreted a different classic men's sunglasses style, the range has been given extra kudos by collaborating with Linda Farrow, the project's host whose very name implies quality and luxury."
Renowned internationally for his visionary designs and ingenious playful pop references, German born Bernhard Wilhelm is the first of the designers to take part in the project. His glasses are deliberately oversized with 60s inspired chunky plastic frames and original lens shape. The glasses are available in three different styles: black frames with black lens, clear frames with black lens and tortoise shell frames with brown lenses.
Now regulars on the official menswear calendar in Paris, Japanese designers 0044 with their signature dark gothic aesthetic has been reflected perfectly in their creation for this assignment. With large wrap around frames and shield lenses, the 0044 glasses are available in both all black and olive green. The design features also include a silver skull encrusted into the arms of the frame and a typically sinister poem engraved onto each lens.
Featuring a variety of styles, the ICONIC collection presents modern designs combining bold infusions of tasteful lines ideal for today's fashionable yet masculine clientele. Customers will find clever designs and comfortable bands that boast the rugged durability of tungsten carbide available in varying finishes and accent materials - and huge savings off the regular prices.
