Style Week Charlotte has been celebrating the best of local fashion all week. Last night, Charlotteans gathered at the Belk Theater to celebrate not only fashion, but life. Fashion for Life, an official Style Week Charlotte event sponsored by Sashas Spa in Motion, has plans to give all proceeds from the night to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As part of any good gala, a fashion show gave guests a chance to check out clothes from local boutiques.
The first models to grace the runway were young patients from Presbyterian Hemby Childrens Hospital. These adorable toddlers confidently twirled and turned down the runway wearing outrageous childrens fashions including tulle skirts, ruffled two-piece outfits and couture prints. Clothes were provided from Peek-A-Boo Couture, a fine childrens boutique located at the Metropolitan.
Grown-up models took the show from cute to colorful as they modeled bold spring looks from other local boutiques including The Pink Hanger, Elle VJ Boutique and Keatons Cupboard.
Flirty printed dresses dominated the runway along with multi-colored, strappy shoes. One shoe that was particularly unique was a turquoise peep toe. With the exception of a pair of white skinny jeans, the looks were all about showing off the legs. Hues of pink and green were prominent. One color shocker of the night: a bright yellow silk dress. Original? Yes. But, only to be worn if it works with your skin tone. A super cute spring trend that appeared last night: the extra large brimmed hat. Its a perfect accessory for a day at the beach or even just a day out on the town. Make sure to score one before the sunshine gets too strong.
As for the guys, the Keatons Cupboard models were outfitted in some seriously suave looks. Business casual turned sexy as the guys modeled blazers, suit pants, and neutral colors with a touch of fun through golf-inspired fashion hats. Classic mens fashion never goes out of style.
Another thing that never goes out of style? Giving back. The sponsors, local boutiques, volunteers and guests who participated in this event all raised money to help the patients who need it most. Yet another fashion success for Style Week Charlotte.
