We’re hosting our FIFTH annual Wearable Art Fashion Show on July 25 (one week before my due date!! eee!!!) and I’m SUPER excited to announce that our featured fashion show designer for this event has just been revealed!!! The designer is my friend Arlene Aranzamendez who just opened a new boutique in Madeira, Atelier by Adorn USA. (Click here to read a story we recently wrote on Cincy Chic about Arlene’s jewelry line, Adorn USA.)

I remember meeting Arlene for coffee a few years ago to chat about MARA, a luxury lingerie line she was co-founding with a friend.  At the meeting, she gave me some samples of the lingerie and a necklace that she designed. I love wearing both the lingerie (so comfy AND pretty) and the necklace (I get compliments all the time on it!).

Then, this year, on my birthday (June 10) Arlene opened her new shop in Madeira to showcase all her designs (as well as a few other selected designers), I knew it was the perfect time to feature her in our annual Wearable Art Fashion Show this year!

We also have a great philanthropy for this year’s show: the Arts Alliance. Formerly the Mason-Deerfield Arts Alliance, the Arts Alliance is dedicated to bringing the best possible arts programming to Northeast Cincinnati and the surrounding area. Their focus is centered on developing programming that includes collaborative efforts and partnerships with our schools, local organizations, businesses, and the community.
