Fashion Though the Decades on Display at Rosecliff on Thursday
Style icons like Jackie O, Grace Kelly, Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn and others will be featured at the fashion show and champagne brunch.
Anegla Moore has partnered with the Preservation Society of Newport County once again to host a fashion show, and this time, some style icons will be the inspiration for the event.
The show features a tribute to women who have influenced American fashion through the decades, like Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Twiggy, Bridgitte Bardot and others.
Guests will also see a one-day only exclusive, curated exhibit of Preservation Society fashion archive that spans the past seven decades and were worn by Newport style stars, including Mrs. Topsy Taylor and Mrs. Marion Oates Charlaes.
