ST. AILBE WOMEN'S CLUB FASHION SHOW

St Ailbe Women's Club each year traditionally puts on this one-of-a-kind Fashion Show. Many may not know this but, the St Ailbe Fashion Show is one of the most recognized and well attended events on the Southside of Chicago. This Fashion Show draws over 500 people from the surrounding Chicago communities. There are always few in the audience from out of state. This is a very successful standing-room-only event which has been dazzling audiences for over 10 years now. Some people start asking for tickets as early as the day after the event.

This year St Ailbe parishioners were in fashion heaven as they spent a Saturday afternoon at the Lexington House, soaking up the latest styles and fashions. A troop of gorgeous St Ailbe models still-posed, strutted, swayed, danced and walked up, down and across a beautiful lighted and elegant T-shaped red carpeted runway, it was an interesting and fun-filled afternoon.

The array of colors were rich: browns, reds, greens, blues, touches of metallic, creamy pastels and lilacs and occasional appearances of yellow. Yellow is such an amazing color! The patterns were great -- tangy colors, zebra strips on black with firings gracefully flapping with every swing of the hip, and flowing separates. Every outfit made a statement of its own. They were dressy, casual and unique,  Magnifique! some leather pieces    and some sassy new fashion garments. St Ailbe Fashion Coordinators turned this show into a very exciting, electrifying live performance.

To add to the palette as we indulged in fashions, this event included a delicious dinner. Clothes from "On the Nine'  Boutique were on display in the Lobby and were available for viewing touching and...  purchasing.

For the second time this show highlighted Jacqueline Jones Fashions from her "On the Nine" Boutique and the fabulous hats and scarves from the Collection of Leontine Brown. 

St Ailbe Models are real troopers and they are not camera shy. They like, the professional models they are,  love the flash of the camera. Photographs were taken by many and we appreciate all of the pictures we are receiving.  Special Thanks to all of the Photographers who attended this St Ailbe Fashion Show.  Unfortunately we don't have the space to show  all of the beautiful pictures on this web page and you may call the rectory to arrange to see a clear view of the pictures on this site..
