Last weekend was a busy one filled with preparations for my daughter’s prom, meetings with wedding vendors, and my media-related duties. Not that I am complaining, because I had the pleasure of ending the weekend on a very high note by attending Lisa Nicole Cloud’s “Fashion for a Cause” charity event and fashion show, featuring Lisa Nicole Cloud spring/summer 2015 collection.
The Lisa Nicole Collection is an affordable high fashion collection of sleek functional designs that exude power, class, and sophistication for the millennial businesswoman.
The evening of fashion hosted by Lisa Nicole Cloud, star of Bravo’s “Married to Medicine” and her husband Dr. Darren Naugles, took place at the Broad Street Ballroom in NYC. The well-attended event was coming off of her WEN Experience New York launch–which took place the day before. The philanthropic effort was in partnership with Medshare to benefit the “Love and Serve” Haiti mission. Funds raised from the show (including auction, and sales from the onsite sales of the Lisa Nicole Cloud Collection) will send $250,000 in medical supplies along with 12 physicians on a medical mission trip to Haiti in November 2015.
In spite of the pouring rain, guests arrived looking fabulous for runway fashion, live auctions, entertainment, power networking, cocktails, and hor’s d’ oeuvres–all while raising money for a great cause. Sponsors included Married to Medicine, Bacardi, Grey Goose Vodka, 5Linx, UpTown, and MD for Dr. D.
Of course, you know I couldn’t attend such a fashionable evening without looking all fancy and lady-like myself. So I rocked a beautiful dress provided by Versailles in Brooklyn, pared with blinged out heels.
It was a beautiful and relaxed Sunday evening sipping on great cocktails, socializing, and enjoying amazing designs. Besides the wearable and beautiful designs by Lisa Nicole Cloud, one of my favorite moments was during the auction. There was a bidding war between two guests in hopes of walking away with the Beyonce signed plaque.
On a whole, I would say Lisa Nicole Cloud’s Fashion for a Cause charity event was a great success!
