Fatigues to Fabulous
The south courtyard at the Mercedes Benz fashion week tents was the sight of this amazing presentation. The crowd listened with a heavy heart as each of the 6 ladies told their stories of struggles from watching friends get killed in action to being raped by a fellow soldier, and when they turned to the country they faithfully served for help, they were simply DISMISSED!
Each lady was lovely in their designer ensemble, from Charlotte Ronson (worn by Jennifer Crane), Kardashian Collection for Sears (Christina Dibble), Carmen Marc Valvo (Ann Marie Faison), Bill Blass (Sarah Franson), Calvin Klein (Serena Hayden), and Donna Karan (Meredith Perry Smith).
