It seems social butterfly Elizabeth Scokin, an event planner who has done parties for the likes of Lee Ann Womack, Candace Bushnell and Georgette Mosbacher, has created a line of glamorous, sexy aprons that have attracted the most fashion-forward stores and magazine editors in the country. Scokin heads up Nashville-based Elizabeth Scokin Productions, which promotes fashion and luxury goods through charity events – and A-list celebs.

 It’s a hoot. She says her aprons are the antithesis of those worn by the Stepford Wives, and they are. I still think Denuo’s $22 retro aprons are adorable, but these ($75 -$300) are for dress-up.  

From left: Handmade aprons from Denuo, sorority aprons (for frat house parties?), and the hand-appliqued  Luxe apron from Glam It Up, shaped like a cocktail dress.

There’s the Glam It Up collection that has been modeled on the classic cocktail dress. The body is fitted and the hem flounces. The step-up line is called Glam it Up Luxe: each is individually embellished with ribbon appliqués and numbered to ensure your friends won’t be wearing the same one at their parties. My favorite (though I wouldn’t be caught dead in it) is the Give Me Sugar collection - ties at the waist with billowy sash and adorned with festive rickrack.
