Guests at the opening witnessed a dream Sakina and Mahir Iskender hatched at an Istanbul cafe become reality in America, on Fairmont Avenue. Entering on a red carpet, attendees got the first preview of what's to come on the racks. The space itself has been transformed into a posh showroom, but the redesign does not overwhelm the pieces on display. And rather than rack after rack of the same old apparel, a discerning selection of exclusive brands will give women a shopping experience of discovery, and fashion-forward styles.
Last night's invitation-only event also offered wine, champagne and upscale hors d'oeuvres.
There was also a bit of breaking news: Sakina announced that she will be designing and launching her own fashion line in the next two years. That's one more reason Take 5's opening is a major fashion development in Bethesda: not only exclusive brands, but eventually an in-house line as well.
But while you consider the exciting future ahead for Take 5 Boutique, here are some photos from the night that started it all (more photos and video coming soon, too!):

The owner needs to learn to smile. He looks like someone just took his teddy bear.
