What: Fashion Woodlands Fashion Show
Where: The new Woodlands home of Theresa Roemer (not the storied mansion in the Carlton Woods section of The Woodlands)
PC Moment: Houstonians across the region gathered in the a lavishly decorated holiday tent where a catwalk extended across the swimming pool for the fashion presentation that featured the designs of Jose Sanchez from Mexico, Dahlia Razzook from London, Cesar Galindo from New York and Houston’s Jonathan Blake.
(Vivian Wise, attending this event, was one of three Houston belles who had tapped Blake to create their gowns for the recent Menil Collection 35th anniversary gala.)
The event not only raised funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation but also made the fashion dreams of one young lady a reality. Make-A-Wish youngster Sydney, thanks to Roemer and the foundation, was outfitted in a custom outfit provided by Blake and treated to hair and makeup. She walked the runway and was then told her wish for walking in a New York fashion show would be coming true in February in Galindo’s fashion show during fashion week.
Page Parkes of Page Parkes Texas was on hand and donated runway classes to help Sydney prepare for her New York City fashion debut. Icing on this incredible cake that dreams are made of, the woman who won the raffle for the $20,000 diamond hoop earrings, compliments of Mark Pharo Extraordinary Jewels, donated them to the young lady.
