FASHION PRELUDE: Edgemont House party precedes Fashion Event

The North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce threw a "pre-party" Feb. 13 for The Fashion Event, a fundraiser slated for April, at North Little Rock's Edgemont House, home of noted landscape designer Chris Olsen.

Guests enjoyed libations and an assortment of heavy hors d'oeuvres as they chatted and explored the historic home.

John Owens, chief executive officer of the North Little Rock Chamber, made opening remarks, thanked sponsors and introduced Lynann Papan, event chairman, who shared details about the forthcoming event. Olsen shared information about his 1927 house, a Spanish colonial mansion also known as the Justin Matthews Jr. House and rented out for special occasions.

The Fashion Event will take place April 26 at the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub, with professional models joining "chamber celebrity" models to showcase fashions from area boutiques. The evening will include a raffle of prizes worth $1,000. A portion of the proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas. Tickets are $75-$125 and can be ordered by calling (501) 372-5959.
