On a crisp fall afternoon each year in Rancho Santa Fe, The Country Friends organization partners with South Coast Plaza to present “The Art of Fashion” fashion show, an annual fundraiser benefitting specially selected charities of San Diego County.
The day begins with a delicious luncheon on the Croquet Lawn at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe under a 50’ x 80’ canopy. Following lunch, attendees wind their way down to Rancho Santa Fe Park, where they enter a breathtaking 90’ x 80’ mesh tent, evoking the feeling of being inside a giant butterfly net.
With the stage set and guests settled, the show, designed and produced by Shannon Davidson Productions, begins. Runway models glide by wearing fashions by designers Emilo Pucci, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta and Michael Kors and more. At the show’s conclusion, guests follow the path back to the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe to stroll through exclusive boutiques and enjoy the Après Affaire Wine Tasting.
