Italian fashion show honors Dolce Moda
By Chuck Bennett / Special to The Detroit News
ROYAL OAK --A painfully chic crowd of about 200 people breezed through Dolce
Moda in Royal Oak Thursday to attend a fashion show and cocktail party
hosted by the popular boutique and the Italian Trade Commission.
Wine and Champagne were served along with hors d'oeuvres from Papa Joe's
that included lobster and artichoke bottoms, lamb and artichoke kebabs,
spicy olives and pine nuts, and bruschetta.
The highly-stylized Italian designer fashion show featured 30 professional
models and prominent Metro Detroiters including Jeff Cauley of Cauley
Ferrari Maserati, Michael Schoenith of the Roostertail, Adrian Tonon of Cafe
Cortina and Jon Jordan of WDIV-TV.
Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Matthews also modeled and was the
keynote speaker. She was joined at the microphone by Italian Embassy Deputy
Counselor Roberto Lanza.
"We were one of just a few stores in the country that were selected by the
Italian Trade Commission to stage a fashion presentation showcasing Italian
designers," Dolce Moda owner, Jenny Ouliguian explains. "We decided to make
a party of it and turn it into a fund-raiser."
The invitation-only event was free, but proceeds from all purchases of
Italian clothing that evening will benefit Infinite Life Productions, a
nonprofit organization that helps children with autism.
