The StyleMob Soiree

San Francisco spent the weekend recovering from one of the biggest, most-buzzed about parties to hit the scene in a while—the Glam Spring Mix party. The must-know crowd of the bay area all convened to celebrate Glam‘s acquisition of StyleMob, a street fashion community where members upload outfits and vote on the best looks of the day. Held at the Ambassador Lounge, a swank, vintage-style lounge in downtown San Francisco, the party was at full-capacity (500 people!) by 7pm.

The crowd was a unique mix of bloggers, venture capitalists, fashion lovers, independent designers, and StyleMob members and the vibe was quite fashionable but friendly. (Who said the chic can’t also be sweet?) Also on hand were reporters from the LA Times, NY Times, and the Financial Times, as well as bloggers from VentureBeat, TechCrunch, and Mashable. This eclectic crowd sipped on Glam-tinis: VeeV Vodka, fresh pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, served UP with a twist.

The highlight of the night was the fashion show which was both unconventional and fun. As StyleMob is all about fashion democracy, so was the show—featuring modles of all styles and body types. Their common denominator? Creativity! Here’s a small taste: Patrick Koppula, the CEO of ffwd, strutted the catwalk in a shirt he designed and had made in India. Rachel Green, a San Francisco State student, wore an Anna Sui blouse with a vintage locket necklace with black skinny jeans. Nicole Renee Barnes, a marketing manager for a mobile technology company, wore a silver dress designed by Kara Janx, previously of Project Runway, and Christian Louboutin leopard-print heels.–Tracey Anderson
