‘Fashion Trifecta at the Track’

Fans and fashionistas had the opportunity to peruse this season’s “most ornate, whimsical and over-the-top styles” on July 12 at the Fashion Trifecta at the Track. The inaugural pre-race fashion event was held in the Turf Club Courtyard area near the Paddock at Del Mar in preparation for Opening Day, which took place July 16 (after press time for this paper. See Opening Day photos next issue, July 23).

The event featured more than 15 pop-up vendors with models showcasing cocktail to couture offerings from boutiques such as: Del Mar Hat Co., Jill Courtemanche, La Femme Chic, Sweet Bling, Cedros Soles, Lux Ave Boutique, Maggie B & Mister B, and more.

Proceeds from an opportunity drawing and boutiques will benefit the Helen Woodward Animal Center.
