Globe Guilders Host 30th Annual Fashion Show to Support The Old Globe
The Globe Guilders presents Celebrating Couture 2020,
their 30th annual fashion show and luncheon, presented by Neiman
Marcus, to benefit The Old Globe’s artistic and arts engagement programs and
support the impact the Globe makes in the San Diego community and across the
nation. Neiman Marcus is producing a special treat for the audience this year
with a rare exclusive—they will be privileged to be the first fashionistas to
view the Southern California debut of the
fabulous Marchesa Couture Pre-Fall and Fall 2020 collections.
The Chair for this extraordinary fashion event is Elizabeth Helming,
joined by Co-Chair Jo Ann Kilty and President of the Globe
Guilders Pamela Maudsley-Merrill. Celebrating Couture 2020 will take place at 10 a.m., Tuesday,
March 31 at Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, located at 3777 La Jolla
Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92122.
Guests will be greeted
with a sunlit champagne reception at 10 a.m. in the glass-enclosed Vicino
Ballroom, which will offer the chance to bid on silent auction items. The live
auction and opportunity drawing begin at noon in the Aventine Ballroom,
followed by the fabulous Marchesa fashion show and a delicious lunch. After the
show, Neiman Marcus will present a one-of-a-kind boutique for browsing and
shopping in the foyer.
Marchesa Couture Pre-Fall and Fall 2020 collections draw inspiration from
the studies of horses by Edgar Degas (1834–1917). In these works, Degas
captured a unique sense of motion, enabling the viewer to imagine the drawings
come to life by following the sophisticated movements of charcoal on paper. The
natural beauty of these works invites a feeling of rhythm, freedom, and pace.
Marchesa is a global fashion brand featuring elegant evening wear, ready-to-wear, and one-of-a-kind couture designs. Since its launch, Marchesa has become renowned for its distinctive romantic aesthetic.
“This spectacular event provides funds for The Old Globe’s artistic and arts engagement programs, enabling the underserved communities of San Diego and Imperial Counties the opportunities to see, learn, and participate—and making theatre matter to more people,” offered Pamela Maudsley-Merrill, president of the Globe Guilders.
As The Old Globe’s volunteer auxiliary, the Globe Guilders are a dedicated
group of women and men who utilize their collective talents and strengths to
benefit the Globe’s artistic and arts engagement programs, helping to make
theatre matter to more people. These innovative programs, which over the past
five years have impacted the lives of more than 100,000 San Diegans, include
Globe for All—our tour of live professional theatre performed for free in
community centers, homeless shelters, libraries, correctional facilities, and
schools throughout the region.
All serious arts lovers and fashionistas are invited to support this can’t-miss staple of San Diego’s fashion calendar. Tickets and additional information is available by visiting https://e.givesmart.com/events/f6z or www.globeguilders.org/celebrating-couture-2020.
