Fashion Though the Decades on Display at Rosecliff on Thursday

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.

From the “little black dress” to the drop dead ball gown, the Fashion Show and exhibit will be a “unique opportunity to see Newport style come to life,” the Preservation Society said in a release.

The Fashion Show will be emceed by Angela Moore, and models will include familiar TV and fashion personalities including celebrity garden designer Kent Russell (with his amazing collection of Christian Louboutins), and the 2009, 2013 and the 2015 Miss Rhode Islands.

“We are delighted to have Angela collaborating with us to highlight fashions and accessories from our historic collections, as well as showcasing her popular resort looks,” said Trudy Coxe, CEO and Executive Director of the Preservation Society. “It is going to be a very special morning and a lot of fun.”

Guests are invited to have their picture taken on the “Red Carpet” staircase of Rosecliff and then enjoy cocktails on the terrace, overlooking majestic views of the Atlantic Ocean, before proceeding to the ballroom for the seated Fashion Show and Brunch.

Admission is $90 for Preservation Society members and $100 for general admission.

“I am thrilled to collaborate with the Preservation Society during this very special year,” Moore said. “Fashion through the decades is truly a unique opportunity, and one which we think our audience will really enjoy.”
