Galleria Mall hosted Style, Sip & Shop, an immersive fashion and lifestyle experience featuring award-winning fashion stylist Connie Aluoch on Saturday, 29 August 2026.
The experience brought together women across different ages and lifestyles for a conversation on personal style, fashion and how wardrobes can evolve alongside changing priorities. The event featured a live styling session led by Connie, alongside a curated shopping experience bringing together fashion retailers within Galleria Shopping Mall.
Rather than focusing on fashion trends alone, the experience explored how women can develop a personal style that works for their individual lives, from navigating corporate dressing and motherhood to transitioning between work and social occasions and adapting their style as their needs change.
Connie Aluoch led a session themed “Fashion Through the Seasons,” exploring how women can approach personal style through different stages and lifestyles.
“Fashion is not just about following trends. It is about understanding who you are, where you are in your life and how you want to express yourself. A woman in her twenties may have very different needs from a woman in her forties or a mother balancing family and career, but that does not mean that style has to become complicated. Style, Sip & Shop was an opportunity to have an honest conversation about how we can dress for the lives we are actually living while still feeling confident and like ourselves,” said Connie Aluoch, Award-Winning Fashion Stylist.
The event also brought participating fashion tenants together in one shopping experience, allowing guests to explore different brands, try on pieces and receive styling insights to help them make more intentional fashion choices.
According to Faith Adhiambo, Marketing Manager, Galleria Mall, the experience reflected the mall’s broader evolution towards creating experiences that bring together retail, lifestyle, entertainment and community.
“Today’s consumer is looking for more than a place to shop. They are looking for experiences, discovery, connection and reasons to spend meaningful time in a destination. Style, Sip & Shop allowed us to bring these elements together through fashion while creating a platform for women to learn, interact and discover something different. It was also an opportunity for our fashion retailers to engage with customers in a more experiential way,” said Adhiambo.
Style, Sip & Shop formed part of Galleria Mall’s ongoing efforts to bring its Experience Different brand promise to life by creating experiences that extend beyond traditional retail. Through fashion, conversation and discovery, the event offered guests an opportunity to connect, engage with industry expertise and discover what Galleria has to offer.
