Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters will be hosting “Fashion for Furkids,” a fashion show like no other, on May 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at their headquarters property in the Giaquinto Event Center (5235 Union Hill Road, Cumming,
GA 30040). All funds raised will go to the life saving programs of Furkids, benefiting our communities most at risk animals.
“Fashion for Furkids” models aren’t just showcasing gorgeous articles of clothing, but will also be accompanied by adoptable dogs while on the catwalk. Furkids promises a memorable experience, blending the worlds of fashion, history, and compassion. Furkids is pleased to announce that renowned author and fashion historian Nancy Flaherty will be in attendance, and will give a special presentation. Nancy’s company, ‘HiddenGems with Nancy’, specializes in taking clients shopping in Paris, France, to find the hidden gems they have been searching for their whole lives.
Nancy and her husband adopted their dog Rocky from Furkids in 2013, and Nancy has a heart for philanthropy and especially animals. Nancy stated “Rocky has brought suchjoy to us, we want the rest of the Atlanta community to know that Furkids’ has joy for them too. Combining my love for fashion and style history with an event that supports the mission of Furkids will bring so much warmth to my heart”.
“Fashion for Furkids” attendees will enjoy an exclusive look at both vintage and contemporary styles featuring articles from Nancy’s personal collection, Dillards fashion, and unique finds from the Furkids Thrift Stores. Models from Forward, The
Agency, will be walking the catwalk in this one-of-a-kind fashion curation. Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters has five thrift store locations throughout metro Atlanta where a large variety of items and clothes are donated. Oftentimes distinctive
and unique items find their way onto their clothing racks. Sales from the thrift stores contribute over 30% of Furkids’ annual operation costs, enabling them to continue their life saving work.
All are invited to attend this special event, and Furkids openly welcomes the public to experience their gorgeous garden property at Furkids headquarters. A $75 ticket includes royal tea, live music, and access to an exciting silent auction of handbags from designers such as Chanel, Jimmy Choo, and Kate Spade.
