It was a spectacular night of swimwear, evening gowns and ready-to-wear fashion at the sixth annual Catwalk for Charity at Essex Skyline at MacArthur Place. The fashion show helped raise over $15,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This marks the third time Essex Skyline has partnered with the Orange County Fashion Showcase.
 
This year’s event was presented by Deanna Hodges, founder of the OC Fashion Showcase, and featured glamorous fashion wear from Courtney Allegra, B.Spoke, Hodges Collection, Wood Underwear and CVLT.
 
Amazing cuisine, wine and cocktails were served up by top chefs from a variety of fine restaurants such as Mastro's Steakhouse, The Capital Grille and Seasons 52, to name a few.
 
The silent auction helped raise additional funds for research. Items bid on included chef dinners, custom designer clothing and a Sycuan Casino getaway.
 
VIP guests sat comfortably, with a lounge area set up by Cort Furniture. An exclusive VIP after-party was provided, catered with champagne from Bianchi Winery and sweets from French's Cupcake Bakery. Each guest received over $200 worth of products in their swag bag.
 
Essex Skyline residents also participated, volunteering their time with stage & lighting, website design, printing, video & photography, along with numerous auction items.
 
“It was fantastic to have so much support from our vendors, Essex employees and residents,” says Anne Vallone, resident relations representative at Essex Skyline.
 
Essex Skyline would like to thank Dassa Construction, Imperial Painting & Construction, Securitas, C3, To' and Mo', Brook Furniture, Sam Cast Landscape Services, Plumbing & Maintenance Supply, Southside Towing and Pal Security for their support and contribution.
 
And special thanks to MC C. Willi Myles, DJ Nick Nack, Frankee Razor and Jaz Graham for the music & entertainment.
