On Saturday night, Fashion Fusion in Washington, D.C. will bring together the hottest local fashion designers and a fun way to give back to women and girls in our community.
Proceeds from the event will benefit The Women’s Foundation.
We, in turn, make grants to great organizations like Facilitating Leadership in Youth (FLY), featured in this ABC9 news piece on the fashion show. FLY fosters the academic and personal success of young women in Anacostia. One of their former students, Tawanda, is now a sophomore in college, and is featured in the video.
You can also read more about the event at Classy Fabulous, a fashion blog co-written by a member of FLY’s staff that covers local fashion and fashion events, and particularly those that benefit women’s causes. The tagline is Creating Sisterhood through Fashion.
Sounds like the perfect tagline for Fashion Fusion as well, which at its heart hopes to use fashion to bring women together and provide an opportunity for them to give back through their participation to local women and girls.
Which is why their actual tagline is Inspired Giving, Inspired Style.
Fashion, giving, fun. Certainly an inspiring combination!
