"CATWALK – Couture for a Cause" Fashion Show

The Michigan Design Center hosted this runway fashion show and silent auction to benefit
the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, Partners on October 11, 2007.

One-of-a-kind couture garments were created with fabrics from Michigan Design Center showrooms and designed by some of the area's most respected interior designers. Haute couture meets home decor as local interior designers switch hats for a day, all in the name of charity.

     
   
 
 
 

 
"Bella Vita" - A chic faux fur trimmed wrap in a richly colored carmine red cut velvet damask on a taupe faille ground elegantly drapes this petite suit. The deep coral silk taffeta blouse is bias cut and styled with a boat collar. The accent pleats at each side are held in place near the waist line with flat bows. The straight skirt is fabricated in a boucle of multiple shades or carmine red woven together to achieve a great depth of color.

Couture Seamstress for this dress:
