The Shops at Skyview, a multi-level shopping destination in Flushing, Queens (https://www.theshopsatskyviewny.com), invites the community to a weekend-long “Singles Day” event on Saturday and Sunday, November 9th and 10th, to encourage singles to enjoy shopping, exploring new fashion trends, and celebrating themselves and their single friends and family members. “Singles Day” began in China as an unofficial holiday marked by large sales events and, in South Korea, the sharing of “1”-shaped chocolate-covered pretzel sticks or cookies called “pepero” as small tokens of affection or friendship. This year, on the weekend before November 11th, The Shops at Skyview will be the very first shopping center in the United States to introduce a Singles Day event modeled after this popular Asian tradition and specifically designed to help area singles learn about the hottest new beauty and fashion trends while building personal connections with one another. During this event, guests will enjoy a two-day celebration featuring a fashion runway, a flash fashion swap, style demonstrations, an interactive photo booth, a customized t-shirt station, a singles’ fashion party, and a first-ever U.S. appearance by the wildly popular K-drama actor Bae In-hyuk with eight “Singles’ Date with Bae” activities. To enter for a chance to participate in a Sephora makeover, to submit questions for a live Q&A with Bae, or to compete for an on-stage spot in a fashion show Bae will judge, visit the center’s Instagram page for details. Tickets are required to attend any of the “Singles’ Date with Bae” activities on November 10th. Two kinds of tickets will be available; VIP tickets or standing-only tickets. A VIP ticket registration link will be posted on the center’s website beginning October 25th where guests can upload a receipt showing $100+ in purchases from any Shops at Skyview retailer made on or after October 15th. VIP ticket holders will enjoy guaranteed seating, an in-person meeting and autograph opportunity with Bae on stage, and a group photo with the star. A limited number of standing tickets will also be available at no charge on Eventbrite. To learn more, visit https://www.theshopsatskyviewny.com/events.
