The Glamorous Luncheon Hosts Fashion Show to Support Michigan Fashion Designers
The Glamorous Moms Foundation hosted its inaugural fundraiser, Saturday, May 22, 2021, at the Townsend Hotel. The Glamorous Luncheon is an annual Spring event to support the non-profit’s mission and community efforts. The original date was canceled due to the pandemic. And, the second date was canceled too.
The afternoon entailed a plated lunch & dessert for guests, Glamosas, vendor shopping featuring local female vendors, an award ceremony for the top volunteer of the year (also won by a Michigan fashion designer, Rachna Chandra), and a fashion show which featured designs from seven Michigan designers.
The Michigan designers and their designs are as follows:
Archana Aneja
Mila Pershyna
Jiayu Li
Leslie Pilling
Rachna Chandra
Ashley Harris
Rachelle Willnus – Fascinator Designer
The event was the first in-person for many after social distancing for 15 months. Admissions were limited and social distancing rules applied. Only one look from each designer for each of the six models (all from Your Entourage Agency) was celebrated. Each model wore Glameselle liquid matte lipstick, and a fascinator handmade the night before by Rachelle Willnus of Derby Hats by Rachelle.
The Glamorous Luncheon date for 2022 is May 21, 2022 and will also be held at the Townsend Hotel. Glamorous Moms Foundation is planning to have more designers and looks for a bigger show next year if the pandemic allows.
