YSL friends & family

Update: Racked.com has reported on Madison Avenue Spy's post on the inherent sucky-ness of this 'friends & family' event. As I suspected it is a clearance sale (or NYC euphemism "sample sale"), but even worse, it will be outlet store cast-offs!

I'd love to get insider info on this one, so if you're in the know, please comment below! This is being marketed as a 'friends & family', but it's not in-store and with discounts of up to 75%, I'm going to go out on a limb and call this a sample sale in disguise. I guess that label makes classy YSL a bit shy. Since the BWS was such a bust (and yes, I know I did not follow up like I promised, but I figured ranting about it was not a value-add to anyone), maybe whatever credit limit you've got left can look for goodies at the YSL 'friends & family' event.
