Lights Camera Fashion 2019 by Terri L. White
The 9th Annual Lights Camera Fashion (LCF) fundraiser took over SouthPark Mall on Sunday, October 20 to much fanfare and celebration. Each year the Junior League of Charlotte, Inc. (JLC) hosts this event to raise money and increase awareness of the charitable work the JLC does in the Greater Charlotte area. Chair Victoria Olszowy and Vice-Chair Sara Gosse worked diligently with their committee members to create a great LCF experience for attendees, “We had such a strong committee this year,” said Olszowy. “Every woman brought a different skill set to the mix. They were really able to execute seamlessly many moving pieces, such as donations, internal and external communications, and logistics. In reality, putting on an event like this took a year to plan, and it’s almost like planning a wedding. We really were pleased with the outcome of the event, and luckily we didn’t run into too many issues,” she explained. The spirit of fashion and fellowship was present and felt among all attendees. People of all backgrounds wore their favorite clothes and accessories, reflecting the myriad of styles and cultures represented by JLC membership and the communities we serve.
“Enjoying my first Lights, Camera, Fashion with my girls,” said JLC Provisional member, Alison Chandler. LCF attendees were able to enjoy cheese, wine, desserts, and other small plates arranged around the runway in the South Park Mall’s luxury section. Additionally, a variety of retailers offered shopping discounts and gifts with purchases for all ticket holders.
