The First Fashion Show and Boutique hosted by local Hadassah chapter Kolot Nashim where style-savvy femmes of the Santa Clarita Valley where proceeds would go for humanitarian causes.
Held at the Newhall home of Natalie Tamsut, the event featured: clothing from Weekenders USA and independent fashion coordinator, Jill Harper; handmade jewelry by Forever Treasure — Unique Jewelry Designs, its crafters, Dale Baron and Marcell Wallace; Cool Purses, owner/designer Sheri Zada; easy to prepare gourmet foods from Tastefully Simple, local owner/distributor Christine M. Gardiner; skin care/makeup by Mary Kay sales consultant Denise Bussjaeger; and Party Lite Candles from Harriette Knight. Each vendor donated a portion of its sales.
Jewelry designer Marcell Wallace, a Saugus resident and Israeli native, said she was thrilled to give a percentage of her and partner Dale Baron’s jewelry sales to Hadassah. (The creations are artfully fashioned from semi-precious stones, sterling silver and Swarovski crystals.)
Jill Harper gave a live demonstration of Weekenders easy-to-care-for easy-to-travel-with clothing via her own herringbone ensemble. Harper showed how the multi-piece fashion ensemble packs snugly into a carrying bag, one that also that converts to a fully waterproof raincoat. Famed as “clothes you love to live in,” the garments are known for being wrinkle-free stretch fabrics of bright colors that mix and match with ease.
Descending from Tamsut’s winding staircase, numerous Kolot Nashim members modeled the Weekender’s fashions about the living room before their delighted audience.
“Oohs” and “ahs” gave way to “oys,” however, when the family cat ran in with a fresh-caught lizard in its mouth. Once the feline showstopper was apprehended — its dinner released — the fashion show merrily continued.
Founded in 1912 by Jewish scholar and activist Henrietta Szold, Hadassah promotes the unity of the Jewish people and also assists people of all backgrounds.
Sheri Zada’s purses also garnered a lot of attention that evening, especially her lady’s bustierre bags, silk Chinese take-out boxes and license plate purses.
Arlyne Szerman noted that Hadassahs welcome mat is out there for women of all religions and backgrounds. “It is not sectarian — anyone that would like to join us, we’d love to have them,” she said. |
