He Said-She Said: An Art & Fashion Show to Benefit Dress for Success Louisville will bring together local and regional artists and fashion designers in a one-of-a-kind event! Doors will open at 7:00pm, and the fashion show, hosted by Leesa Mitchell, a.k.a. The Derby City Diva, will kick off at 8:00pm. Guests will enjoy a cash car, entertainment by CRASH DDZ, and a silent auction of the modeled clothing and original art by local artists.

Using second-hand men’s clothes, designers were challenged to create two original women’s outfits; one day look and one evening. Designers include Heather French Henry, Butch Sager, Emily Kissel, Fhonia Ellis, Lucy Yopp, Betsy Hamilton, Sarah Estes, Rebekah Trigg, Stephie Harvard, Maria Luisa Castillo-Gulick, Vanessa Ramos, Soreyda Begley, Gunnar Deatherage, Kristina Sellers, Melissa Shepherd and Genna Yussman. Coming from varied backgrounds, each designer has an individual style, which will result in 34 unique looks on the runway.

The models for the show will include members of The Derby City Roller Girls, local models and everyday women, ranging in sizes from 2 to 16.

The silent auction will close at 9:00 p.m., but the entertainment will continue during the after-party until 11:00 p.m. Sponsors of the event include Beauty First, Black Rose Agency, The Derby City Diva, Derby City Roller Girls, Peapod Design and Shear Artistry Salon.

The VIP ticket holders will enjoy a separate lounge area, appetizers and swag bags. VIP tickets are available with the purchase of a sponsorship package, which start at $50. River Bend Winery is generously donating 10% of bar sales to Dress for Success Louisville. For more information call (502) 637-5082, email info@fashionbenefit.org, or visit www.fashionbenefit.org.
