Missed out on the New York Fashion Week festivities? No worries: a small taste of Fashion Week is coming to you and the Bryan/College Station area. From the areas hottest designers, to the in-style boutiques, and accompanied with a special cause, “The Fashion Event” is sure to be one you won’t want to miss. This three day event will not only showcase local designers and boutiques, but also radio stations, papers, and local businesses all while bringing the community together in a multitude of ways.
Presented by Caldwell Country Chevrolet, “The Fashion Event” is to be held March 30 through April 1, while benefitting “The Mercy Project.” This organization is working hard daily to end child enslavement in Africa through building relationships with locals, freeing enslaved children, and creating ways to create labor and jobs, without including the children that live in the villages of Ghana, Africa. All proceeds generated over the course of the events starting Thursday night and wrapping up Saturday evening will directly benefit “The Mercy Project” in their constant fight to end child slavery.
