Saks Fifth Avenue is once again pleased to announce its partnership with the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit to present SAKS BLAST, a premier fall fashion event, to be held at the Saks Fifth Avenue Somerset Collection location in Troy, on Wednesday, August 15, 2012.
Heading up the guest list is DESIGNER NAEEM KHAN, who is slated to make a personal appearance with selections from his Fall & Resort Collections.
SAKS BLAST will also be celebrating the debut of 10022-SHOE in our Troy store, Saks Fifth Avenue's completely renovated and expanded new address for women's shoes -- a mirror image of our 10022-SHOE Flagship destination in New York, which is so extensive it has its own zip code - 10022! Also included will be a sneak peek of our entirely refurbished First Floor, premiering a new Cartier Boutique, new Chanel Boutique and New Louis Vuitton Boutique, as well as sweeping upgrade of our Beauty, Handbag & Accessory Shops.
Event Chairs, David & Jennifer Fischer, are securing a formidable list of sponsors and committee members to host the event. "Saks Blast will be a terrific event, a fun, exciting and sophisticated evening, with lots of surprises - the best party in town!" event chair, Jennifer Fischer, remarked.
Kim Nye, Vice President & General Manager of Saks Fifth Avenue in Troy, added, "We couldn't be more thrilled to kick-off our fall season and introduce 10022 Shoe, than to celebrate it with our long-time friends, Jennifer & David Fischer, and Designer Naeem Khan, in support of a great charity - it's a win-win for everyone. This will be a night to remember for fashion lovers and stylemakers throughout the area -- Naeem's Collection is a knock-out, and our Shoe Salon will be double the number of current styles, from all your favorites - Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo. We can't wait!"
The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit is one of 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States, ranking it among the nation's best cancer centers. Saks Fifth Avenue is thrilled to provide funding for its many programs through the proceeds of SAKS BLAST.
