Leading Bahamian designer fashion boutiques, Cole’s of Nassau and Morley for Men, are joining forces to host a first of its kind evening fashion show and live auction in aid of The Ranfurly Homes for Children at the Old For Bay Club at 7pm on April 14.
The supremely landscaped outdoor location plays well with the show’s theme, aptly titled “Tropic Splendour”. Lush poincianas and palms swaying to the sound of popular island jams spun by a live DJ, and an inviting oceanfront breeze will welcome guests to the historic Old Fort Bay Club. Wildflowers Events & Occasions will further enhance the natural beauty of the venue, providing décor, lighting and center pieces for the evening.
For the first time in its long-standing lineage of charity fashion show events, Cole’s of Nassau invites attendees to enjoy an evening filled with abundant cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and entertainment followed by a live auction, raffle drawing, and dancing under the stars.
An all star lineup of sponsors includes: fashion show hair and make-up by Studio Vivo and a steady flow of libations provided by Liquid Courage, Bristol Wines & Spirits, John Watling’s, Turtle Vodka, and Young’s Champagne.
Fitting with the theme of the show, the event will showcase the latest in Spring fashion from Cole’s of Nassau and Morley for Men. Top designers will include Emilio Pucci, Missoni, Mara Hoffman, Camilla, Clover Canyon, Hugo Boss, Paul & Shark, Love Brand and Vineyard Vines.
The Ranfurly Homes for Children is a foundation that Cole’s of Nassau is more than proud to assist. It has been a safe haven for thousands of Bahamian children since 1956. The idea for the home originated as a result of a mid 1950s fire in downtown Nassau, when Lady Hermoine Ranfurly, wife of the then governor, discovered a group of homeless children sleeping in cardboard boxes in buildings and alleys.
Six months after securing a spacious property on Mackey St., the patrons and caregivers at Ranfurly welcomed the first residents into their full time care. Since then, the home has provide a safe, structured environment for children who have been orphaned, abused, neglected or abandoned.
The proceeds from the event will aid in maintaining the efforts set out by The Ranfurly Homes for Children and of Lady Hermoine Ranfurly herself. Without support provided by such charity events, the functionality of the home would be severely affected and its mission even more difficult to uphold.
To ensure the future success of the home, Cole’s of Nassau & Morley for Men welcome you to join them in their philanthropic efforts to support Lady Ranfurly’s legacy of laughter, love and kindness. Tickets available for purchase at Cole’s of Nassau: (242) 322.8393.
