Fashion and Fundraising for a Good Cause
Now in its 6th year, Couture for a Cause has become a popular, annual mainstay in the Triangle, with anticipated sold-out crowds.
The 2014 event will feature 19 designers, creating couture and ready-to-wear outfits inspired by the Triangle nonprofits they are paired with. Attendees can expect a red carpet welcome, hors d’oeuvres, silent and live auctions, a cash bar, and a runway show, to name a few of highlights. During the live auction, guests can bid on the outfits they’ve seen on the runway. The event has been described by WRAL Out & About as “the hottest local fashion show.”
