need to fill in the gaps, says Carol Calacci, Co-Founder and Managing Editor of Second City Style.
As a designer I think it'ss important to create a unique and personal shopping experience. One where women can shop for luxury designer goods in a relaxed showroom setting with friends
and of course, some discounts, added designer Orlando Espinoza.
