This past weekend marked another year down for the annual Charity Event hosted by Adopt A Pig foundation and Joseph Anyhony Retreat Spa and Salon. This year the event moved to the glamorous Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia. We are in our fifth year and it was a major success. 39 piggies were adopted by the end of the night.
The event was emceed by the amazing Jennipher Fredericks of Fox News. We had a special guest appearance and performance by Jade Starling. Saks Fifth Avenue sponsored several of the looks for our competition for the second year in a row. Tony Lukes even became part of giving this year and donated to help the children.
There were five teams, the only guidelines given are fall fashion 2013. This is a high energy couple of months prepping everything and creating ideas and looks. We never know what the judges are looking for cohesively.
We had a team use the ever so popular hunger games as inspiration.
The speech that was delivered by Michael Gaglioti was phenomenal. As far as a fantasy theme is concerned, I think they had it in the bag!
We also had a Japanese inspired theme, which ended up winning in the end.
Not very everyday wearable, however the judges loved this collaboration the best! They had a lot of makeup help from one if their very talented models.
Next we had a more wearable street inspiration. Following the ever so trending cat eye and bold lips.
The stylists work so hard putting on this show. Everyone did an amazing job and are very talented. 100% of the proceeds benefit the charity. I will update with a final donation once the numbers add up.
Until then. Follow me on twitter @jsutton613 or on Instagram @ suttonartistry for more pictures from this event and many more.
