    Inspired to Empower

    It's difficult to make it in the fashion industry and support yourself while you fight to be discovered. These designers shared with us stories of struggles to continue doing what they love: turning their inspiration into pieces that promote their personal messages.

    Many designers want to inspire you with their designs:
    -Inspire you to feel empowered by your inner strength
    or
    -Inspire you to live life with excitement in your next hot outfit!
    Don't you feel ready for the world when you're wearing the perfect outfit?

    Let's continue the circle of empowerment! All of our proceeds from this Fashion Show will go to a charity such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma society to support those expressing immense levels of personal strength.

    Be inspired by talent and strength, we surely are.

    We just launched!

    Hi everyone!

    Thank you backers for supporting our event!

    I'm really excited for the Charity Fashion Show & "Try-me-on" party! Here's my vision: You walk in through the front doors and are greeted by us with a big smile. With one hand, you might sign-in on our wall with words of encouragement for local designers, and with the other you pick up your drink of choice (champagne, sparking lemonade, all subject to change depending on the venue).

    Walking through the room, you stop every three feet because you spot another fabulous shirt, dress, necklace from a local designer that you absolutely MUST try on. Here's your chance to speak with the designer and get the background story on what inspires their creative thoughts.

    I've heard stories from designers who created a jewelery company with her sisters (it started as a creative past time, but as their jewelery became more popular while their day jobs became busier, it remains a great reason to meet regularly) or made an outting to a specific French convent during her Europe trip with friends to pick up as much French lace as she could afford (one dress worth).

    I hope that you'll take home a couple pieces to add to your wardrobe, and a few beautiful stories of inspiration.
