Fashion with Purpose

Fashion takes centre stage at The Pink Society High Tea Fashion Show with collections from:

• JJ Schoeman

• Diaan Daniels Couture

• Chantal Couture

• Sari for Change by Rayana Edwards

• JT Bespoke Couture

Models from Rampage Modelling Agency, alongside celebrity models including Tsholo Peeters, Mrs Grand South Africa and newly crowned Mrs Grand International Top Model, will take to the runway, with internationally recognised make-up artist Jose de Sousa leading the beauty direction.

The showcase will also highlight the work of the Carmen Cares Foundation, with models wearing wigs provided by the foundation to raise awareness of its personalised care and memory packages for cancer patients.

Guests will have the opportunity to contribute towards funding a wig for a cancer patient, with each donation accompanied by a personalised care card bearing the donor’s name.

“We don’t always know what someone is carrying. That’s why kindness and mindfulness matter. Being present, noticing someone, and helping where we can may seem small to us, but can mean everything to someone else.”

— Carmen Melissa, Founder of Carmen Cares Foundation

An Afternoon of Glamour, Entertainment and Giving

From the moment guests arrive, surprise entertainment will set the tone for an afternoon where glamour meets generosity.

A fundraising auction featuring an evening or wedding gown from one of the participating designers, alongside an original artwork by Douw Van Heerden, will contribute to the day’s fundraising efforts.

Guests can also look forward to:

• Best Hat Competition

• Exclusive giveaways

• Live entertainment

• Fundraising experiences throughout the afternoon

More than simply a glamorous high tea, The Pink Society Annual High Tea Fashion Show Fundraiser creates a meaningful platform where fashion, health, community and philanthropy come together to increase breast cancer awareness while supporting people affected by the disease.
