Songs and Styles of Italy Fashion Show and Luncheon
by the ICCC Team
Over 300 guests gathered at River Oaks Country Club to celebrate all things Italian at the Songs and Styles of Italy Fashion Show and Luncheon benefiting the Italian Cultural & Community Center, October 17, 2023. The sold-out event was held in honor of Roz Pactor and Steve Tyrell and showcased the latest fashions from Italian designers, all sold at Neiman Marcus.
As the country club began to fill with longtime and newfound friends of the ICCC, guests browsed the silent auction, purchased raffle tickets, and enjoyed the Prosecco Pull, which boasted a mimosa brunch for eight guests at Trattoria Sofia as its grand prize.
