Here’s a perfect example of local Savvy: a trunk show right here in town, not across the city at NorthPark or HP. Before you head out to your costume parties this weekend, get a little dose of New York style from couture designer Anthony Manfredonia.

Trained at Parsons, and formerly with the houses of Isaac Mizrahi and Donna Karan, Anthony has now produced his own collections. His designs evoke a garden full of hothouse blooms, with jewel tones and gorgeous detailing.

See these brilliant confections from Anthony Manfredonia at a show this weekend at Green Peridot, at Shops at Starwood. Enjoy cocktails while you check out the fall 2009 and spring 2010 collections, during a trunk show on Friday, October 30, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Anthony will be accompanied by his jewelry designer, Elena Kriegner.

You can also view Anthony’s collections on Saturday, October 31 from 11 am to 2 pm. For more information or to RSVP, contact ross@anthonymanfredonia.com.

And, a portion of sales from this trunk show will benefit Star Children’s Charity, so you know we love that. Doing good while living well is the Savvy Way.
