Madonna, Michael Jackson, Barbie and Bollywood actresses! Stars were out in full force at our Fashion Heroes Networking Charity Event on 7 March 2017 — guests not only dared to dress but also provided much of the evening’s entertainment!
The networking event held at Novotel Clarke Quay was the third organised by Image Mission to raise funds for Dress for Success® Singapore.
Founder Li Kin, in her welcome speech, said: “The Dress for Success® programme is for women who, in the eyes of potential employers and even their family and friends sometimes, have little hope of a future. We see beyond the façade of their T-shirts, jeans and gloomy outlook… 99% of the time, they walk out transformed inside out, confident that they can achieve economic independence.”
Since its start in September 2015, Dress for Success® Singapore has served more than 180 women who have made the courageous choice to step out to work, overcome challenges in their lives and build a future for themselves and their families.
Guests gamely rose to the challenge by dressing as their fashion icons and strutting their stuff on stage. Michael Jackson, Iris Apfel and the Absolutely Fabulous duo were crowned Best Dressed Fashion Heroes. Guests also had fun in the Tag & Win social media contest.
Thank you to everyone who made Fashion Heroes come alive!
