Break out that hat, beaded purse and hankie: the Point Defiance Zoo Society will present their ninth Fashion Tea on Saturday, April 28, at 1 p.m. at the Emerald Queen I-5 Showroom.
While originally created as a showcase of formal fashions suitable for wearing to July’s Zoobilee, the event has evolved.
“We started adding in the casual flair just a few years ago,†explains Christine Roha, the Zoobilee manager who also has worked with producing the fashion show.
The “casual flair†this year will come from some of our favorite local boutiques â€" Dame Lola, Rocky and Coco’s, Sonja Clothing for Women, Tiki Lounge, Red Line, and Envy â€" as well as from Nordstrom, among others.
The models, diverse in age, shape, body, and skin color, are community members who will wear the clothes the day of the event.
Fashion is only a portion of the afternoon â€" live and silent auctions, entertainment, and a mysterious must-see guest appearance will also feature.
And while hats have been a hallmark of the “high tea†21-and-over event, they’re not a necessity, nor are the hankie and beaded bag. Semi-formal attire is recommended, though.
The $45 general admission will benefit the Zoo Society. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
