Fashion Show Helps Women See the Possibilities in Their Own Closets

Presented by Shelby Cheri and Ratliff Events and Lifestyle Experts

On Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 6:30 pm, personal stylist Shelby Cheri of Shell B Cheri in partnership with Ratliff Events and Lifestyle Exerts will present Style Evolutionzed. This roof-top, sunset fashion show will highlight 20 local DC women all wearing looks comprised of items hand-picked and styled by Shelby Cheri. But there’s an interesting new twist to this fashion show. The outfits will be styled using the clothes that the women already own. By forgoing the typical designer wear and emphasizing what the models already own, Style Evolutionized is a bold and economical attempt to transform the way women view their clothing. 

Rather than promoting the unattainable, this fashion show is all about accessibility without sacrificing style.  “A fashion show is typically a fantasy – it is clothes we can’t usually afford worn by women with bodies we will never have. This fashion show is taking that fantasy and grounding it in reality. I am ecstatic to work with Ratliff Events to produce Style Evolutionized, which is an entirely new vision and concept by allowing a personal stylist to demonstrate trends rather than a clothing designer. In all of these ways, we are deconstructing the very notion of what a fashion show is. It’s going to be so special and creative and I could not be more thrilled about it,” said Shelby Cheri.

After the fashion show, guests will enjoy an evening reception and after-party while watching the city lights sparkle over the DC skyline. 

Ratliff Events and Lifestyle Experts is a local event production company led by Founder Kristus M. Ratliff. Collaborating with Lifestyle Experts (professional stylists, personal trainers, nutritionists and therapists), Ratliff creates unique style, health and wellness experiences that empower and inform women. Ratliff shared, “I started this company because I want to be a positive voice in an often cluttered and negative marketplace. I’m excited to have Shelby Cheri as a Lifestyle Expert. She understands women, and uses her knack for styling to build women’s self-esteem and to help them develop their own sense of style. She reminds women that they don’t need to blow their rent money on shoes in order to look and feel good.”
