SWFL Dress for Success
A REcycled Night Through the Decades
A one-of-a-kind fashion show featuring local designers’ runway-ready ensembles crafted from bags of recycled clothing and accessories generously donated to Dress for Success SW Florida, which are deemed not quite workplace appropriate. Each designer was given a decade to use as inspiration for their look.
Money raised from the annual event supports programs that are offered free to women in Lee, Collier and Hendry counties, Women Empowered Through Employment Series (WETES) for unemployed and underemployed women, Professional Women’s Group (PWG) for employed women and Entrepreneurial Spirit Program (E$P) for women that want to start their own business.
1970s “Kaleidoscope”
FIRST PLACE WINNER
"When you look into a kaleidoscope, you see something beautiful. But after you shake it up, destroying what is there, and hold it up to the light again, you will see something new and different, but equally beautiful. Life is much the same as the kaleidoscope. After being shaken, it will always reveal something new and beautiful, but only if we take the time to hold it up to the light and look inside." -Anonymous
