Renton clothing boutique, C’est la Vie at The Landing, will present the latest fall fashions in a fashion show event on Sept. 13.

The show will benefit Domestic Abuse Women’s Network or DAWN.

“The idea behind the fashion show is to teach fashion, not just show the fashion,” wrote Gabriela Sawrey, DAWN event organizer. “Styles and different options to mix and match will be explained and demonstrated during the show.”

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the show starts at 6 p.m. at the shop, 911 N. 10th Pl.

The clothes are from local and popular designers, some of whom have given back to the community from planting trees to donating to breast cancer research.

The models for the show are every day women who live and work in the Renton area, C’est la Vie customers, said Sawrey.

The target age group for the show is women age 30 to 65, who like to wear fun and unique fashions.

C’est la Vie owner Colleen Bowman got the idea to do the show when she was approached by DAWN to donate an item for the organization’s “An Evening of Promise” fundraiser. Bowman wanted to do something bigger and so the idea for a fashion show was hatched.

Although DAWN provides services for all of South King County, in 2011 the group served more than 950 people in Renton alone.

In addition to the fashion show, there will be wine and chocolate tasting, appetizers, SWAG bags and a raffle of merchandise from other Landing merchants.

Tickets are $15 per person and reservations can be made through gabriela@dawnonline.org.
