100% of Ticket Sales Donated at The Bellevue Collection’s Spring Runway Show
Bellevue, Washington (PRWEB) May 01, 2015 -- The Canvas of Style Runway Show at The Bellevue Collection last Saturday, April 25, raised $10,000 for the BE a Smart Girl program of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue ($7,000 from ticket sales and $3,000 donated by The Bellevue Collection). BE a Smart Girl is a comprehensive programing strategy for female members that addresses three program areas: academic success, leadership and health.
A crowd of eager fashionistas watched the trends come to life on the runway where art inspired colors met spring’s hottest styles. Top trends were Denim Luxe, modern, tailored denim suitable for evening and workplace; In The 70s Mood, the free spirited vibe of the 1970s via inspired silhouettes and accessories; Leading Lady, with tailored design elements and soft feminine features; Bold Blooms, with bold, bright florals in large-scale graphic blooms with soft fabrics and ultra femme colors; Prep Chic, a modern twist on country club classics highlighting gingham prints, polos and cardigans; Bohemian Spirit, a fresh take on modern Bohemia with a rich color pallet, throwback prints and dreamy fabrics with a free-spirited nature; Global Travel, rich with khaki tones in trench coats and travel-easy linens paired with exotic accessories; and White Out, featuring a range of white hues, from bone to cream to ecru. An added trend of fitness apparel was a hit on the runway.
Adding to the festivities of the morning, ticket holders enjoyed chic breakfast bites upon arrival at Bellevue Square and each left with a one-of-a-kind swag bag and a $10 Bellevue Collection Gift Certificate.
