Talk about a power couple. When beloved Oakland retailer/fashion mentor/Throughline honoree Sherri McMullen teams up with chic eco-lodging 1 Hotel for a holiday pop-up, it's an RSVP (hella) yes. You're all invited to check out McMullen's designer offerings at the Embarcadero hotel for two upcoming weekends.
What'll be on the racks? A well-edited selection of styles from sought-after global labels (Khaite, The Row, Proenza Schouler, Dries Van Noten, Altuzarra, Simkhai and Harwell Godfrey jewelry) along with pieces from buzzy, next-gen designers a la Christopher John Rogers, Bode, Sloan, and Diotima.
McMullen herself can't wait to get the fashion party started: "Our hope is that it gives visitors a chance to discover all of the amazing designers we've curated at McMullen and imparts a festive spirit when gathering with friends and loved ones this season." // 10am to 5pm, Friday through Sunday, December 8-10 and December 15-17; 1 Hotel: 8 Mission St. (Embarcadero), shopmcmullen.com
