“Fashion Takes Flight” for Luke’s Wings.

Reported by Laura

lukes-wings

I will be walking in a fashion show fundraiser for the organization Luke’s Wings. Luke’s Wings is a great cause dedicated to the support of service members who have been wounded in battle. “Recognizing the immediate need for families to be with their loved ones during such a difficult time, Luke’s Wings provides families with the means to visit during the service member’s hospitalization and rehabilitation.”

Hosted by WUSA 9’s Angie Goff, the event will feature cocktails, hors d’eourves, and a silent auction. Models and military service men and women ‘take flight’ in a swank, high energy runway exhibition highlighting cutting edge fashion from Washington’s best boutiques and collections by the District’s premier designers. Make it out if you can, it should be a fun event!
