The Morgan's 3rd Annual Dress to IMPRESS Paper Fashion Fundraiser

Tickets are on sale now for the Morgan’s 3rd annual annual paper fashion fundraiser Dress to IMPRESS, which is Saturday, October 3rd from 6-10 p.m.  This stunning evening featuring paper and print as fashion and wearable art is not to be missed! This year, we welcome you to Brave New Worlds, a hyper-stylish and fashion-forward era that embraces multiple and new realities. The world of fashion has consistently served as a mirror to society, reflecting current moods, social movements, and cultural paradigms. In Brave New Worlds, dystopian fashions will express concerns for the future and societal turbulence with a “new possible” stepping forth.

More than 15 artist-designers are addressing this bold theme, creating ensembles incorporating a combination of traditional and innovative materials with paper and printed matter as major “ingredients”. Brave New Worlds, the runway show and exhibition, will present a profound statement about our current society and the potential paths we might take. It invites us to contemplate the world we live in presently and the new world we wish to enter.

Doors open at 6 p.m., the fashion walk begins at 7 p.m., with prizes for first place, runner up, and best-dressed attendee. We will have a cash bar, delightful finger foods, silent & online auctions, DJ NicNacc, a red carpet runway show, and more! Last year’s event was a smash success ~ we can’t wait to see you there!

If you would like to help us get ready for the event during the week – decorating, cleaning, preparing auction items – or to help during the event itself so everything runs smoothly – greeters, food runners, ticket tables, etc. – please email Maria at volunteer@morganconservatory.org.
