Hats, Heels &Highballs 2018
Maria Etkind
On August 19, 2018 I showcased my millinery creations at Hats, Heels and Highballs. The event was hosted by St. Charles Avenue Magazine and it was held at Harrah's Casino Theater. The proceeds from the event benefited Dress for Success New Orleans, a nonprofit, volunteer driven organization that works with over 50 New Orleans agencies to identify disadvantaged women who, with a hand up, not a hand out, can gain employment and economic independence.
If you know me you know that I love fashion. Which is why organizing my fashion show was a dream come true. I wanted my models to wear something out of either their own wardrobe or borrowed from me. It was important for me to show the ladies at the event that they can wear my hats with everyday items from their closet. I presented 8 looks and also set up my vendor table.
It was a great experience for my millinery business and a fun day with all my friends and family!
