Spanish term or phrase: venta especial anticipada
From a letter sent out to a client

le invitamos a la **venta especial anticipada** de la colección Otoño – Invierno tendrá lugar a partir del 2 de enero en la boutique XXX

The customer is invited to go in and has the opportunity to buy items more cheaply before the sales start

I was thinking " a special pre sales event"

preview event


Explanation:
In the fashion industry I've seen this called "preview event" or "special preview event" if there are no discounts involved -- i.e. if select customers get a special invitation to view and buy the new designs at retail prices before they arrive at stores for the general public.

If there are any type of discounts, or wholesale prices, involved I would translate it as "pre-sale event" like others have said.

Saludos.
