This past week was the exclusive Composure Boutique Shopping party! The turnout was great, the food delicious, and the room classy and elegant to say the least. The shopping party was held at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency, a beautiful hotel right in the middle of downtown Bellevue. Everyone enjoyed the swag bags made with goodies from Shoetini, Shi Golf, Sorella Salon & Spa, and Inner Vibe. The bags were a great compliment to all the vendors from shoes, to clothes, to lingerie, and even skincare products!
Kelly was dressed to impress as well as myself and all the other women attending the event. It was a spectacular girls night out and the room was filled with happy shoppers and smiling faces. If you didn’t make it to this event be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the announcing of our next shopping party for Composure. I expect them to get better and better as we reach out to more people and make friends with new vendors.
The party also featured the release of new fall items on Composureboutique.com! Be sure to check out the new clothes! Happy Shopping from Team Composure:)
We all know traditional golf clothing was never the most beautiful. Ladies dressed in straw bowler hats, skirts that hit the floor, high neck blouses and formal buttoned shoes were seen in the 1800′s when golf first began to be a popular sport for women. The first fashionable women’s golf wear was designed by Burberry in 1922, the self belted golf suit. It was known as the earliest attempt to bring fashion into the golf world.
Besides that, the sweater and pleated skirt soon became icons of traditional golf styles amongst women. Although not always fashionable, it was more comfortable and made swinging the club easier than previous outfits. Styles began to move quickly as more designers jumped on the band wagon to create fashionable golf clothing.
“In the mid 1920′s, many stores began selling a one-piece golf dress. New York’s Best & Co. sold a dress they called the “Shirtmaker.” This one-piece frock was perfect for golf and other active sports, and was so popular that it was widely copied and became the most popular golf dress style for the next 30 years.”
Eventually more styles set in and it became ok for women to wear sleeveless blouses and even bermuda shorts on the green. The early styles have made a great influence on many designers today. Kelly Chon takes inspiration from all these styles while considering other popular styles from today’s golfers and fashion in general. She is among one of the only designers that takes inspiration directly from the old fashioned designs and turns it into chic, elegant designs wearable on or off the golf course.
