"CATWALK 2008– 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 16, 2008.

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.
