Yes, the much-touted and anticipated F.I.G. sale was nothing to write home about. The clothes and jewelry were one big blur of the same: trendy, clingy blouses, pants, skirts, dresses and accessories for twentysomethings. Many (if not most) of the sizes were fours and zeros.
There were, however, a few finds.
San Antonio-based boutique Penny Lane had several Isabel Marant wool jackets that were seventy five percent off. My personal favorite: a blue sequined long-sleeved dinner jacket.
David Peck, a Houston-based designer, showcased his CrOp collection and fall line of wool dresses. Mr. Peck's boatneck blouses are made of 100 percent crepe de chine, and the collection's blouses, dresses and skirts are printed with eco-friendly techniques. These clothes are luxurious, well-made and affordable.
Here are other reasons why to love Mr. Peck's clothes:
1. They are manufactured in Houston.
2. A percentage of CrOp's proceeds are donated to charitable causes.
3. Mr. Peck uses certified fair trade, natural and organic fabrics.
My last stop was at Poleci, and there were a few standouts there, too: an elegant grey jumpsuit, a colorful dress and a burgundy cocktail dress.
