Dress for Success Fashion Show
For the last three years, I have had the pleasure of attending the Dress For Success fundraising fashion show. The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
The profound human stories, community spirit to support these women, and tangible impact of this incredible Denver organization is something I love to support.
“My vision for Dress for Success Denver is a community where women do not live in poverty but have the resources, support, and network to thrive in work and in life. Every woman has the right to achieve financial independence and self-defined success.”
The true stars of this show are the Dress for Success clients that walk the runway themselves. Owning the runway with all the confidence of a professional model, the women who have directly benefitted from this program show how strength, confidence and self-assurance is what make the clothes look so good.
Dress for Success provides more than just clothes. There are programs that guide career development workshops, financial literacy programs, and a continued professional women's group for ongoing support. The staff and volunteers that make this event and organization possible are incredible women, and the type of people I aim to surround myself with. They're a vital part of Denver's support network, and have served over 20,000 women since they began their work here in Denver in 2006.
The fashion show itself is an annual event, and one I would highly recommend attending. There's always a fun theme to dress up for, and the venue changes regularly. It's a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and have a fun night out while contributing to something meaningful, and bigger than yourself.
