Scholarship Benefit and Fashion Show

28th Annual Scholarship Benefit & Fashion Show
Saturday, May 8, 2010 at the Beverly Hilton, Beverly Hills
7 pm – Cocktails and Silent Auction, 8 pm – Dinner and Runway Fashion Show

Experience the future of fashion! For the past 27 years, the Benefit black-tie gala has featured Los Angeles’ largest fashion show with more than 70 professional models in 175-plus fashion designs for women, men and juniors. Approximately 900 guests—an affluent, creative crowd made up of the people who make Los Angeles happen including, business and entertainment, stylists, fashion and design retailers, celebrities, and fashion fans—get a glimpse at the future of fashion design from the perspective of those who invent it—Otis fashion students!

This year’s Benefit features runway fashion designed by students under the direction of mentors: Anthropologie, Armani Exchange, Cosabella, Hurley, Todd Oldham, O’Neill, Patagonia, Robin Piccone, Lilly Pulitzer, Robert Rodriguez, Koi Suwannagate, Tadashi, Isabel and Ruben Toledo, and Trina Turk.

In 2009, close to $1 million was raised in one night for scholarships benefiting students across disciplines at Otis. Many of these promising young artists and designers would be unable to complete their education without this financial support.
