The evening of fashion fun begins 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 17.

Location: The Canal Club, 1545 E. Cary St. in Downtown.

The theme: “Red Carpet Runway.”

Proceeds will benefit Dress for Success Central Virginia, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide disadvantaged women with professional attire to secure employment.

Fourteen local volunteer designers are asked to create runway worthy designs from donated collections of “unworkable clothes,” according to event organizers.
