Adrienne Landau Sample Sale

Let’s get this out of the way right up top: if you are currently in need of two black-tie gowns, first, lucky you, and second, get to the Adrienne Landau sample sale STAT. Floor length gowns are $399 each, which isn’t that exciting until you realize they’re two for $500. Oh, and they’re beauties: we spotted a dramatic crimson Lela Rose with origami-esque folds and a show-stopping Melinda Eng, the bodice of which is fully covered with peacock feathers.

Other than pageant contestants and those whose friends are having extraordinarily fancy weddings (those two groups comprising our best guess as to who needs multiple gala gowns), it’s hard to think of who would really enjoy the Adrienne Landau sale. Sure, a white faux fur chub is alluring in a ski bunny way, but $125? For faux fur? At a sample sale? Real fur vests are a better bet: a mink is $225 and leopard and chinchilla versions are a relative steal at $175. Things get more expensive when you add sleeves: a short leopard coat will run you a cool $375. At those prices, you’re better just dropping in for the gowns – but only if you’re getting two.  – Leila Cohan-Miccio
