What To Do This Weekend

First things first: Congrats Phillies and Phillies fans! No matter what you read, we all know that red is the official color this fall. Need we say more? You all know that this has been quite the week in the City Of Brotherly Love– so we hope you wrap it up with some more great local events. Enjoy!

Jenya Kurtsman Trunk Show @ Art Star As you know, we’re ArtStar fans at PWstyle. Those fine people will be hosting Jenya Kurtsman, the artist/ designer behind EvaForeva and forEvaMore! If you don’t know about Jenya…

Jenya is a Philadelphia based artist who focuses on unique and original designs that are done using free form technique. Her forEvaMore handmade clothing line features one-of-a-kind pieces made with natural materials and EvaForeva is full of hand knitted winter accessories.

A trunk show will be happening and all of her dresses, skirts, tops, and accessories will be up at discounted prices. There will be mimosas for everyone and custom appliques being made! The event happens on Saturday the 24th from 11-6pm and Sunday from 12-5pm. More deets on the Art Star website or online invite.

Party like it’s 1994 @ Johnny Brenda’s I’m just gonna call this event what I think it should be called: “I love Blind Melon and look like Daria.” Wait, what?

Ready, set, yes or no!: No, my editor didn’t know this was going to pop up in here. Yes, this is a music event. No, this isn’t a trunk show. Yes, it’s at Johnny Brenda’s. No, there won’t be any models, but if this isn’t an opp to bust out your combat boots, Nirvana tee and that ripped denim jacket you’ve got tucked in your closet ”for the right occasion,” I don’t know what is. Details here. Enjoy some brew and don’t disappoint us with your duds: PWstyle is watching.

All Hallow’s Eve Costume Benefit Ball @ Brandywine River Museum Costumes for this event are usually somethin’ else, if you can make it out of the city. Tickets are a bit pricey, but all proceeds benefit the Brandywine Conservancy. Details here!

The All Hallows’ Eve Costume Ball is the Young Friends’ of the Brandywine Conservancy’s annual gala fundraiser. Don’t miss this eerie night for sipping cocktails; walking through the Jamie Wyeth: Seven Deadly Sins exhibition; competing in the hotly contested costume contest and dancing to the sounds of Burnt Sienna. All proceeds benefit the Brandywine Conservancy.

Shopping in Paris @ the PMA Attention! This awesome exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art will be closing in two weekends. We know you’ll be partyin’ for Halloween soon, so be sure to get your butt over there. The exhibition explores the American experience abroad between 1850 and 1925.

Such luxurious designs as the House of Worth and the classic elegance of Lanvin are being paired with American fashions based on these Parisian prototypes. Featuring nearly twenty-five garments from the Museum’s collection—many of which are rarely (or have never been) displayed—these outfits are accompanied by an exciting array of accessories. Photographs and film clips from the early twentieth century will be on view, giving audiences a sense of the storyline around each garment and the woman who would have worn it.
