Washington, D.C., May 13th, 2013 – Over 200 guests including fashion bloggers, designers and founders came out dressed to impress last Thursday May 9^th, to enjoy a charity swap party and fashion show hosted by SNOBSWAP & Dewdrop at tech startup hub 1776. The night celebrated fashion and tech to raise awareness and funds for Becky’s Fund, a non-profit helping victims of domestic violence. Attendees came with excitement bringing their designer goods from their closets to trade with other guests. Indulging in the sample sale like frenzy, everyone was eager to find the best pieces to take home. Amongst the many items that were swapped included Marc Jacobs, BCBG and Balenciaga purses, Escada skirt, Prada trench coat, and Michael Kors flats. “This was a valuable experience for SNOBSWAP.com to come offline for one night and connect with our local members and enhance the swapping experience online,” says Elise Whang, CEO of SNOBSWAP. The night was emceed by Julie Donaldson, an anchor for Comcast SportsNet, who looked stunning in a dress provided by SNOBSWAP store partner, TARI. After enjoying shopping, cocktails, and a tasting of exquisite Japanese hors d'oeuvres by master sushi chef Niki, guests were led towards a lively red carpet fashion show. The show featured a sneak preview of curated pieces from SNOBSWAP’s secret celebrity closet available for grabs at www.snobswap.com and ended with a collection of Brazilian swimwear by local designer Emily Gonzaga’s label D’Milikah. Guest celebrities, such as Mrs. DC America and popular fashion bloggers such as Elle of Elle Choi, Liz Fassbender of So Much to Smile About and co-founder of CapFABB, and Comme Coco’s Jen Jean-Pierre also shared their closets and spring style tips. Founder of Dewdrop, Kristine Thomas said, “We were thrilled to put together an evening of high end swapping for a wonderful cause and an opportunity for guests to update their wardrobes in an environmentally friendly way.” It was an evening where innovation and creativity came together to celebrate the growing fashion and tech communities in DC. “The night was an exciting gathering of leaders in this [fashion and tech] space uniting for a worthy cause led by Becky's Fund”, said Whang. "Through this fabulous and successful event, Becky's Fund was able to educate the community about domestic violence while showing support for the many survivors who live day to day trying to rebuild their confidence and lives,” said Becky Lee, founder of Becky's Fund.
