Participate in our silent auction with unique handmade pieces. Join us for a reception and hands on creative workshop with an innovative textile artist, Katie Nocella.
This event is designed to make fashion available to young, creative minds in a way that engages, encourage and inspires the youth in our community. We also hope to raise consciousness about the quality and sourcing of clothing we wear every day.
