And the 2018 Winners Are…

Triad Goodwill took over the Elm Street Center in downtown Greensboro on March 9, 2018 for our 9th annual fashion fundraiser – and this year’s event turned into an all-out dance party. Seven designers showcased their collections on the runway – and chose music that had the crowd rocking!

This year’s designers, Virginia Cole, LaShawn Millner, Shaunielle Foster, Georgann Schultz, Amber Kapas, Desiree Hedrick and Jasmine Rhodes each designed collections inspired by a decade from the 1940s-2000s.

Amber Kapas won the News & Record Unconventional Material Challenge for her 1980s-inspired look made out of newsprint.
