"The San Francisco Bay Area is about to become much more fashionable with the launch of the Annual Fashion Fantasia Runway Charity Gala Dinner & Fashion Show benefitting the Welcome Home Project in the Year of the Dragon.
"Join us for an unforgettable evening of haute couture, charitable giving, and celebration. Your contribution provides essential items for homeless families transitioning into permanent housing, ensuring a successful and lasting change. Be a part of the impactful work of the Welcome Home Project, helping thousands find stability.
"This spectacular show is co-hosted by Catwalk Charity visionary producers Monique Zhang, Ethel Reddy, and Joshua Bernstein, highlighting Honorable Chair Fiona Ma and Co-chair Mary Jung. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21, 2024, and will benefit the Welcome Home Project.
"The event will be held at the historic CAROLANDS Chateau mansion in Hillsborough from 5:30 to 9:30 PM.
"Prepare for a night brimming with glamour and celebration! We kick off with a dazzling display of modern vintage fashion statuettes, paying homage to film star style to welcome our esteemed guests. High-fashion avatar models will enchant you during the reception, immersing you in the art and fashion realm as our program commences with a stylish cocktail reception.
"Leading you into the evening is a mesmerizing Asian dragon parade adorned with dancing gold starlets, setting the stage for four opulent runway fashion segments. Expect a fusion of talents, including opera singers, dancers, models, and other remarkable individuals from our vibrant Bay Area community. Many participants boast a rich creative history in the Bay Area and are avid supporters of charitable fashion events, adding a unique and meaningful touch to the evening.
"Indulge in an evening of sophistication with an exquisite sit-down dinner [prepared by Moonstar Catering, who worked with award winning Chef, Martin Yan], offering a delectable three-course plated meal paired with fine red and white wines. Following dinner, delight in decadent desserts, enchanting operatic performances, and the pièce de résistance – a spectacular runway fashion show. This showcase will unveil evening couture designs infused with exotic elements, crafted by the visionary editorial designers of Fantasia.
"Guests are asked to refrain from wearing narrow heels that may damage the antique floors.
"As a courtesy to their neighbors, CAROLANDS Foundation requires guests who are driving to use their complimentary Valet Parking." ~ https://donorbox.org/fashionfantasia2024
