FASHION BRIEFS AND FORUM FIRSTS…
October 2011
THE FORUM SHOPS THINKS PINK THIS MONTH: October is nationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With one out of every eight women destined to be stricken with breast cancer at some point in their lives, it has become increasingly important to bring attention and raise money for the cause. This year, to help raise even more important funds, The Forum Shops is offering its exclusive Simon Pink Ribbon Gift Card for purchase. For every gift card purchased, one dollar is automatically donated to Komen for the Cure.
Additionally, retailers throughout The Forum Shops are offering a variety of special products from crystal paper weights to polo shirts to silver cufflinks – each aimed to support programs and organizations that promote early detection, education and research funding for breast cancer. Visit Couture Collections during the month of October and receive a Rosenthal Crystal heart-shaped pink paper weight* as a gift with purchase of $150 or more. Shanghai Tang is offering a limited edition “Pink Ribbon” polo shirt featuring embroidery of the Chinese character for power and the number “1”. The pink ribbon, a universal symbol for breast cancer awareness, is elegantly incorporated into the word “Pink”. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this special edition polo shirt will be donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation in Singapore in support of their mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Join The Walking Company in the fight against breast cancer as the retailer presents a collection of products including several exclusive items from many of the most recognized and sought after brands such as UGG Australia, Dansko, Ecco and Abeo. Five percent of each purchase will be donated in support of City of Hope. Tory Burch has designed a limited edition fuchsia pink patent Eddie Ballet Flat.

THE ART EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN RAISED IN LAS VEGAS: They say everything is bigger in Las Vegas, and the team from Martin Lawrence Galleries took that statement literally by building and opening what just may be the biggest art gallery in the United States in the heart of The Forum Shops at Caesars.

In addition to the main gallery area, there will soon be a spectacular exhibition/event space which will become home to Las Vegas’ premiere art events, one-of-a-kind art exhibitions and distinctive pairings of fashion, food and entertainment with the exciting world of art.
FORUM FASHION FORWARD TIP: Big, bright bold colors, studs and stones are the stars of the fall season. From handbags to shoes and watches, The Forum Shops has the perfect pick to make a statement this autumn. It’s all about the gemstone at Fendi. Their Crazy Carates Collection featuring a revolutionary ladies timepiece – a rolling mechanism technology that changes the gemstones with a simple turn of the crown – comes in coordinating crocodile leather bands this fall. At Ted Baker London it’s metal appliqué all the way. This year, their hammered gold metal Anisse clutch bag is red hot for fall. This season, the team at Christian Louboutin has taken their red theme to a new level. For the fall must-have item, they revealed the new signature Daffy Suede Royal Red platform pump with 6 inch heels – red from top to bottom. For the guys, high-tops never looked so good. Mixing comfort with style, Salvatore Ferragamo puts a colorful twist on an undeniable classic. Made from luxurious calf leather and easily dressed up or down, you will not want to be without these kicks this fall.
