What: Recipe For Success Foundation “Fashion in the Fields” brunch with Lele Sadoughi
Where: Recipe for Success‘ Hope Farms
PC Moment: Who wouldn’t be thrilled to spend a midday fête with the Dallas native and famed fashion designer? So it was that a merry throng of femmes turned out in farm girl chic frocks and many donning Sadoughi’s signature bead-embellished headbands for a day down on the farm.
Dr. Sippi and Ajay Khurana, with their two children Shaan and Seva on board, chaired the event for which Sadoughi’s two youngsters joined in the fashion parade with the children of sponsors. Neiman Marcus hosted The Art of Fashion presentation with professional models sporting not only the latest fashions but also accessories from Lele Sadoughi’s must-have collection. All were immediately shopable with the Neiman Marcus on-site pop-up shop.
The $185,000 raised during the event will provide underwriting for the foundation’s weekly distribution of free produce grown at Hope Farms to food insecure families in Sunnyside. The appeal raised $7,500 which will provide four months of weekly produce to 32 of the target families.
The event was held in the charming United Health Gathering Barn, site of numerous Recipe for Success Foundation fundraisers. Following the fashion presentation, guests were treated to a multi-course dinner with elements contributed by Bistro Menil, BOH Pasta & Pizza, Bludorn, Eunice, Clarified Living, Culinaire, Salata and Snooze A.M Eatery – Galleria.
