What: Women of Wardrobe Summer Soirée
Where: Tootsies
The Scoop: Houston’s unofficial party-season starter came dressed for fall. Women of Wardrobe and Tootsies welcomed more than 325 fashion-minded revelers August 26 for the 23rd annual Summer Soirée, raising more than $30,000 for Dress for Success Houston.
Event chairs Anna McGrath and Dani Kattan led the stylish shop-for-a-cause affair.
Designer Hunter Bell, celebrating her brand’s 20th anniversary, gave 100 VIP guests a peek behind the seams during an intimate conversation led by Courtney Zavala about her inspirations, journey, and what’s next. Then came the shopping frenzy, with fall fashion sharing the spotlight with DJ Johny Bravo’s soundtrack, Mas Flora’s floral wall, Just Call Malik’s photo booth, and oversized balloon installations by Topped Off Co.
The fashionable feeding frenzy was literal, too.
Guests grazed on bites including duck tortellini and key lime pie, with a sprawling lineup of local restaurants and beverage purveyors keeping glasses and plates in circulation. Swag and five door prizes provided one last reason not to leave empty-handed.
