Re: Trunk Shows...

typically yes. I went to two maggie sottero trunk shoes. Both stores offered me 10% off maggie dresses. One store only offered it on the new line, and the other offered it on the entire line of Maggie dresses.

Re: Trunk Shows...

you can expect to get anywhere from 10-15% off a dress at a trunk show (some places you may even luck out and get 20%). And that discount does not only apply to dresses from the designer's new collections but any dress by that designer.

Ok so it doesn't necessarily have to be one of their new dresses to get the discount?

Re: Trunk Shows...

Nope, from what I've heard it's almost every dress that the designer makes :)

Re: Trunk Shows...

Also (and I am not sure if this holds true for all designers) but if a designer has a sister company (like Pronovias sister companies are La Sposa and San Patrick) and you go to a Pronovias trunk show, you can also get discounts on the sister companies as well.

EDIT: I think Maggie Sottero and Sophia Tolli are also sister companies... not sure what designer you are looking at
