Runway to Success: AHA’s Fashion Show Shines in Style and Spirit
The Academy of the Holy Angels proudly hosted its annual Fashion Show fundraiser on Sunday, December 8th at the beautiful Tides Estate in North Haledon, NJ. This cherished tradition, which benefits AHA programs, brought together attendees for an unforgettable event.
Guests were treated to a lively afternoon, beginning with a cocktail hour and a room bursting with tricky tray prizes. A delicious luncheon followed, setting the stage for the highlight of the day: the much-anticipated fashion show, featuring stunning styles modeled by members of the Class of 2025.
This year’s runway sparkled with ensembles from local boutiques, including Bella & Love (Ridgewood), Bou Bou (Paramus), Heart on a Hanger (Wyckoff), Marigold Boutique (Midland Park), Mixology (Closter), See Saw Boutique (Englewood Cliffs), Seven X Seven (Nutley), St. Mary Advocates (Hoboken), Suite 201 (Ridgewood), and Threads (Westwood). Each boutique contributed unique pieces that showcased the latest trends while celebrating individual expression.
