On Wednesday, February 24th, from 7 to 9pm at Waveny House, the YWL proudly presents its annual fashion show. This is one of our most popular events.
Admission is free to all members and their guests. This is a great opportunity for new members to experience the types of fun, social gatherings the league is known for. Anyone interested in joining the YWL, or who may have a friend who would like to learn more about membership should contact New Member Chair, Jody O’Donnell at: ywlnewmemberchair@gmail.com.
This year’s theme, The Versatile Woman, refers to the many hats we wear everyday. The clothing featured will take us through day, sport and evening wear, including some ensembles with versatile looks, which may evolve for various events throughout a typical or not so typical day.
Cocktails and Hors d’Oeuvres will start at 7pm. Come sample an array of gourmet appetizers provided by Lemongrass, Rocco’s Italian Kitchen, Fabulous Feasts, A S Fine Foods and Garelick and Herb.
Several local and regional clothiers will be featured including: Dorothy Mann, J McLaughlin and Skirtin’ Around. Make-up will be provided by Benefit. There will also be a select number of discounted clothing items and accessories available for purchase during our cocktail hour. All proceeds will go toward the Young Women’s League of New Canaan’s Charitable Giving Fund.
