Goodwill Glitter Gala & Recycled Fashion Show

Last night was the Glitter Gala - the benefit and preview for this weekend's famous Glitter Sale at Seattle's Goodwill Thrift Shop.

The highlight of the evening was certainly the fashion show: “Past, Present and Future”, which was a collaboration between Seattle Goodwill, the Seattle Art Institute and Robert Leonard Salon and Day Spa. We LOVE the looks pictured at right, and not just because they're black and white (our signature colors). These garments are proof that a great cut never goes out of style.

All of the vintage and secondhand pieces featured in the fashion show will be on sale tomorrow and Sunday. For details, see our first Goodwill Glitter post HERE. And if you are so lucky to get your hands on the find of all finds, tell us about it. Just leave us a comment about your favorite vintage or secondhand score.

Happy shopping!
