Neiman Marcus Willow Bend Hosts Ken Downing
Fashion Event Benefitting CASA Gala
CASA board members, staff and supporters gathered for a holiday kick-off and pre-Gala event on December 15th at the Neiman Marcus Willow Bend store in Plano. Thanks to Neiman Marcus PR manager, Chuck Steelman, guests enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Neiman Marcus Mariposa Restaurant.
Guests then proceeded to a beautifully staged runway fashion show on the store's second level, where they were served egg nog or peppermint martinis, beautifully frosted and decorated petit fours, miniature white Christmas tree cupcake towers and more.
 Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus Senior Vice President and Fashion Director, provided an entertaining and insightful commentary on fashion trends, transitioning from the fall emphasis on motorcycle jackets, leggings, leopard prints, poppy reds, layered knits and textures to a glimpse of spring fashion trends - blue tones, bold prints and vivid colors, soft silhouettes.
Each model's runway walk ended with a male model's presentation of a beautifully boxed holiday gift from Neiman's gift gallery.
The fashion show closed with a fabulous preview of cocktail and evening gowns - ideal for the upcoming Voice for Children Gala - blue silk, satin and sequins were accessorized with nude shoes and the layering of bright and bold statement jewelry for impact. Our thanks to Neiman Marcus Willow Bend for hosting a fun and fabulous fashion event kicking off our Voice for Children Gala.
