Guest models rule the runway at Talbot Runhof show benefiting Circle of Red
What: Talbot Runhof runway show benefiting Circle of Red.
Where: Elizabeth Anthony.
The scoop: Guests got a double runway treat: A full-scale show featuring the 2017 spring collection of the German fashion label designed by Johnny Talbot and Adrian Runhof plus six guest models — Hallie Vanderhider, Temika Jones, Patricia Hunt-Holmes, Cheryl Byington, Akima Taylor and Dr. Bobbi Bogaeve — who are supporters of the American Heart Association's women's support group. Circle ofRed chair Bogaev reminded the crowd that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, but 80 percent of such illnesses are preventable. Taylor is one such survivor and told her moving story in a passionate way.
The Talbot Runhof collection features satin gowns in jewel tones, body-hugging dresses and such items as a black lurex jumpsuit and a chic black sequin blazer with black pants for women who want to step outside the box a little. Jewelry by Katherine Jetter accesorized several outfits. Jetter was at the store for a trunk show featuring her designs.
Ten percent of the evening's sales were donated to Circle of Red.
