Fall Fashion Hits the Runway at Avalon for 'Noon to Night'

From Avalon:

North Fulton’s hottest fall fashion event, Noon to Night at Avalon, returns for its second year on September 15 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Avalon Boulevard in Alpharetta. The exclusive fashion show benefits Bert’s Big Adventure, a nonprofit organization that provides a magical, all-expenses-paid, five-day journey to Walt Disney World® for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

“Noon to Night is one of our most popular events, and it’s easy to see why the community loves it so much,” said Carla Toro, director of marketing at Avalon, the upscale, 86-acre mixed-use community. “Noon to Night combines fall fashion from Avalon’s fabulous stores with the magical work of Bert’s Big Adventure to impact the lives of children with special needs and their families, creating an experience guests will never forget.”

During Noon to Night, Avalon Boulevard is transformed into a runway that evokes images of New York Fashion Week. Bert’s Big Adventure children will strut down the runway with celebrity models, showcasing the latest fall looks from Avalon’s best-in-class retailers including Calypso St. Barth, Lou & Grey and Anthropologie. Drybar and The Cosmetic Market will provide hair and make-up services to ensure that the children and models are runway ready.

“At Noon to Night, Bert’s Big Adventure kids swap their hospital gowns for the stylish ensembles, and trade stethoscopes for curling irons and make up brushes,” said Stacey Weiss of Bert’s Big Adventure. “We are thrilled to work with Avalon again this year to create a truly magical evening for Bert’s Big Adventure families and the North Fulton community.”

Bert’s Big Adventure, founded in 2002 by radio host Bert Weiss and Stacey Weiss, not only sends children with chronic and terminal illnesses on an all-expenses paid trip to Disney World, they provide year-round support and create a community of families that establishes long-lasting friendships with others facing similar challenges.

Last year, Noon to Night raised over $10,000 for the organization. The Avalon team expects this year’s event to be even more impactful.

The name of the event, Noon to Night, is inspired by the vast array of looks that will be displayed, from early-morning workout clothes to a date night little black dress.

The evening will feature a cocktail reception with fare from Avalon’s famed eateries and complimentary beverages to all ticket holders.

A few of the evening’s celebrity models will include:

• Cynthia Davis of Darling Down South
• Lauren Lafevre of Edit by Lauren
• Jessica Garvin of Garvin & Co.
• Luisa Hammett of Peaches to Pearls

• Anthropolgie
• Aya Medical Spa
