Recap: Spring Fling Fashion Show

I recently was invited to attend the Spring Fling Fashion Show, hosted by KAHINI Fashion Boutique at the Marketplace at Factoria in Bellevue.

The afternoon featured looks from Joy Sircar McMillen’s KAHINI’s spring design line as well as the debut of the exquisitely beautiful wedding collection. Her Ivory and Blush Collection is the first Bridal collection that Joy designed. “Begin with a dream and turn it into Beauty,” inspired her to create the gorgeous gowns.

Emerging local designers Noune Hovhannisyan, of MXN Clothing and Sunny Kay of Sunny Kay Designs also presented their stunning designs on the runway. During one of the intermissions, Miyoung Seoul Margolis performed a beautiful modern dance.

There was also a charity auction for Dignity for Divas, whose mission is to restore hope and dignity to women experiencing homelessness by reminding them they matter and reconnecting them with their “Inner Diva,” as well as to support and encourage women who are in transition from being homeless as they walk the path toward a self-sustaining life. Nikki Gane, founder of Dignity for Divas, spoke to the audience about her experience with homelessness before strutting down the runway herself. The auction raised $225 for Dignity for Divas.
