Design for Charity Fashion Show

Ruby Room Fashion Show Call for Designers
Fashion Show Name: Fashion Faux Pas to Fashion Fabulous
Show type: Women’s Evening Wear
When: September 7 or 8 (exact date TBD), from 7 - 10 p.m.
Where: Lobby of the Paramount Theater

This is a charity fashion show benefiting the Ruby Room in Seattle. www.rubyroomseattle.org

About the Ruby Room: The Ruby Room is a nonprofit organization that provides formal gowns free of charge to Seattle area high school girls who are unable to purchase a prom gown or accessories on their own. Dresses and accessories are collected throughout the year and made available at boutiques in the spring. Each girl is paired with a volunteer personal shopper who assists her in picking out the perfect gown.

This is the third year the Ruby Room will present this fashion show, which is their biggest fundraiser of the year.

We are looking for several fashion designers to show women’s evening wear for this fashion show. Each designer will be given a bag of gowns that the Ruby Room was unable to offer to their clients because they were not in perfect condition. This means they may be stained, faded, torn, or out of fashion (80s - Pretty in Pink anyone?). The challenge to you will be to take these gowns and create at least one gown from them, but the more gowns you are able to create the better. It’s the ultimate in gown reconstruction.

At the end of the fashion show, the gowns you created from the old dresses will be auctioned off and the money raised will directly benefit the Ruby Room and their many clients. You can show other evening gowns from your collection and you don’t have to auction them off. But you must agree to create and auction off at least one gown.

Deadline for designers to sign up is Friday, July 6

If you are interesting in participating contact Jaime Carufel at (206) 491-3487.
