Coming Soon! BLOOM: Fashion Show

By ASHLEY YANZA

Spring can’t seem to come fast enough this year. Warmer weather, the smell of blooming flowers, and freshly cut grass come to mind when thinking about spring. The ability to potentially travel to faraway places makes this year a truly spectacular year after the wild ride that was 2020. This year, our Junior League of Cincinnati members and friends will get the opportunity to experience the magical, transformative power of springtime in the form of bold new fashions at the Bloom Fashion Show. Co-Chairs of the Spring Fundraiser Committee Sadie Bonifas and Ashley Yanzsa were inspired to bring the thought of travel and spring to usher in and celebrate the warmer weather.

Two years ago, the Fashion Show was hosted at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati. Due to COVID-19 health concerns we had to pivot our location and the layout of the Fashion Show. As safety is our number one priority, we have moved to Waypoint Aviation’s Hangar at Lunken Airport.

Waypoint Aviation’s Hangar at Lunken Airport greets us with a sophisticated feel. Walking in, you feel as if you’re about to hop aboard a plane with your closest girlfriends for a fabulous getaway—grab your kids, your significant other, your parents, whoever you want to travel with to a faraway land. We, as a committee, want you to feel as if you’re about to jet off to a new country or city. We are calling on you Junior Leaguers to buy a table and decorate it with the place you want to travel to first when everything is safe. Have fun and be imaginative. Where would you go? Maybe to a new coast? A new beach or mountain range? Maybe to a new continent or country? Wherever you go, let’s have fun!

We will feature boutiques from previous years, as well as one or two new ones. In addition to the Fashion Show, attendees will get to enjoy a boxed lunch, pop-up shops, and a silent auction being held online. All of our vendors can be shopped locally for the exquisite looks that will be shown at this year’s Fashion Show.

Catherine Eifrig, one of our returning models commented “I love attending the Fashion Show every year. I look forward to it each spring. I always make a day out of it with my girlfriends.” Grab your friends, your family, your significant others and come enjoy this truly wonderful event.

Let’s all disappear into simpler times for an afternoon and rediscover our love for the League, our love for travel, especially our love for clothes and being in each other’s presence once more. Mark your calendars for May 15, 2021. We can’t wait for you to join us on a magical afternoon that we will surely remember through the years to come.
