November and December were definitely busy months for the La Chica Chic staff! On November 20, we had our first trunk show right after Cristiane's (Designer/CEO) arrival from Brazil! This trunk show was called, "Another Hot Brazilian Night". This was the first show we introduced our new Spring 2009 ling, "Barcelona"! The event was held at Hotel Solamar in downtown San Diego and truly was a success! The whole atmosphere made it a warming and memorable show. Here are a few pictures taken during the trunk show for your enjoyment!
