SOUTH BEND – Goodwill’s Little Black Dress Fashion Show and Boutique will be on Thursday, April 27th at the Hilton Garden Inn Gillespie Center. The Goodwill Boutique will open at 10:00 am and the Luncheon / Fashion Show will begin at 11:30 am. Goodwill Industries of Michiana is partnering with WSBT-TV and B100 in support of their mission to strengthen communities by empowering individuals and families through education, training and job placement. “As we prepare for our 8th year of bringing the Little Black Dress Fashion Show to the community, we are so appreciative of the support attendees provide. It allows us to continue the work of helping people change their lives through obtaining a high school diploma at The Excel Center, job training for individuals who are looking to re-integrate back into society upon leaving prison or job placement for individuals with disabilities. When you attend this event, you are a part of our mission,” comments Debie Coble, President and CEO. Models will walk the runway in clothing from Goodwill showcasing the latest fashion trends while guests enjoy a gourmet lunch. Kathy Friend, nationally known as a stylist and image consultant and President of the Style and Image Institute, will produce and host the program. She will be joined by Emcee Cari Peugeot, WSBT-TV Meteorologist. B100’s Deb Miles, Co-Host of Mackey and Miles in the Morning, will join the fashion show as our Celebrity Model. “Our fans always enjoy a great runway show, and this year will be no different. We’ll have local women as our models and a few area celebs – all showcasing many of this season’s hottest trends,” says Kathy Friend.
