About the show

✦ ✦ ✦

2023 was the year the fashion show became an evening. Instead of a late morning boutique and lunch, more than 300 guests arrived at Avante Banquets at five for a cocktail hour, stayed for dinner and a runway produced by Zzazz Productions, and finished on a dance floor that ran until eleven. Drinks were complimentary all night, every course and every pour underwritten by a sponsor, and the whole evening was built around a single idea: embrace the power of inner beauty.
