Shop for Success.

Tis the season to be giving and what a better way to give back this holiday season than through a local charity. Since 2009, I’ve been fortunate enough to work as an ambassador to worldwide charity, Dress For Success, and this past weekend I helped to design and sponsor their pop-up store space in Hollywood.

In addition to getting the store up and running for the weekend, LA Closet Design was awarded the task of designing the store’s window display/art installation; which I am very proud of! Drawing inspiration from the DFS logo of a little black dress, we designed and draped a mannequin in a dress made completely out of black paper and newspaper. Then from the ceiling, we hung a series of beautifully painted red hangers tied off with ribbon. It was nothing short of a show stopper.

The weekend event went off without a hitch. With such amazing brands and designers as Joe’s Jeans and Rebecca Taylor donating merchandise; guest celebrity stylists to help shoppers score that perfect go-to outfit; our goal was to raise $10K and we succeeded in raising over $25,000! With 100% of the proceeds going to DFS-West, I want to thank any and all who came out to support, donate, and shop the event. You all are the reason it was so successful. For those of you who couldn’t make it, we look forward to helping your dress for success next year!
