La Vita e un Dono – Presented by Alpha-Lit Albuquerque / Santa Fe & Jennifer Graham Realty

Again, this boutique fashion house has been given a life enhancing (and potential game changing) opportunity to show a collection for the SS25 season in the fashion capital of Italy and the world during Milan Fashion Week on September 19, 2024, but I can’t do it alone. The show will take place in a historic monastery, I Chiostri di San Barnaba (built in 1466). It is a dream come true and I hope you will once again join me in making this a reality. AND you’re not going to believe the location I’ve secured for the hometown preview. My local show will take place Sunday, August 25, 2024 at 11:00am – The Old San Ysidro Church, 966 Old Church Rd, Corrales, NM 87048.

This historic church was built in 1868 and is now a part of the Corrales Historical Society. I love that it will be the perfect backdrop my collection in an intimate setting, so don’t delay in getting your seat reserved. I am grateful to Alpha-Lit Albuquerque Santa Fe, Jennifer Graham Realty as presenting sponsors and All About You Wedding and Events as an in-kind sponsor.

This is the perfect event to get your girlfriends together, a mother daughter day (I love to see young designers and fashionistas in the audience) or a day out with your spouse (yes, men are welcome). I have been inspired by these historic locations and tenacious women, so I hope to see you in the audience for this fashionable event. The event sold out last year so I hope you get your tickets early.

SPREAD THE WORD

Sharing event information is definitely caring!! It’s New Mexico, there is like 2 degrees of separation for like minded individuals wanting to support the creative arts, fashion, small and women owned businesses.

I hope to see you in the audience on August 25th.
Gratzie!!
