    Silk Threads, City of Dallas and Trendy Africa magazine present a scintillating Fashion Show

    A Cultural Blend of Fashion – focus on Africa…

    On Sunday, September 4th hundreds of people gathered around a runway in Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas, TX to watch models wearing beautiful designs  take a walk. The event was put together by Dallas International Fashion (DIF), which serves as a platform to promote multicultural diversity within and around Dallas.

    DIF’s goal is to create a platform for cultures, which creates awareness for fashion and attracts foreign investment to the City of Dallas. This event serves as a part of this initiative which establishes favorable relations and cultural ties between Dallas residents and foreign Nationals – via the showcase of fashion, culture and traditions.

    Throughout the show, guests saw styles from our very own, Ruby Bhandari.

    “It is exciting to be part of an event that brings in so many cultures and exemplifies the true diversity of the fashion world,” said Ruby. “We hope that seeing all of the stories from around the world expressed on the runway opened people’s minds about the opportunities around global diversity and multiculturalism .”

    Rock and Fashion come together for a great cause!

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hundreds of students from Fort Worth, Mansfield and Southlake took to two stages at the World-Famous Billy Bob’s Texas in the Stockyards to raise funds and awareness for True Kids 1 Media Project (TK1MP).

    The building now known as Billy Bob’s Texas was built in 1910 and was once an open-air barn used to house prize cattle for the Fort Worth Stock Show.

    TK1MPhas helped over 500 kids within their first six months, by empowering them with the skills and opportunity to express themselves through radio and new media production.

    While the bands were playing, student models from the Bella Modeling School took the runway to show off some of the new designs from Silk Threads and its Ruby B Collection.

    As the Director of True Kids 1, Andy “Rosey” Hayett said, “This was not only a juxtaposition of two forms of art – fashion and music, but also an opportunity for the kids to gain self-confidence through modeling and music – as well as learning to express themselves through art. We appreciate the support of Silk Threads to help us advance our mission of increasing the creative energy of these kids”.

    Silk Threads Jacket gets rave reviews at DIFFA Dallas 2016

    DIFFA Dallas sure knows how to throw a party…and raise funds for worthy charities!

    Saturday, May 21st was no exception – a record crowd assembled at The Omni in downtown Dallas to mingle and enjoy the unique show – with this year’s theme being Circo Rouge – a take between a big tent circus and Moulin Rouge.

    The show, designed by Rhonda Sargent Chambers and Brian Brothers ranged from cringe-worthy to awe-inspiring – from stilt walkers to models made-up as Goths to human animals. Seen at the event was LeeAnne Locken, of Real Housewives of Dallas, among other celebrities.

    In addition to the live auction which featured a trip to Scotland and a vintage-inspired Stella 125 scooter, the silent auction featured 55 jackets from designers like Versace, Lanvin, Naeem Khan and others.

    For the third year in a row, theSOCIALList by Silk Threads presented a jacket by designer Ruby Bhandari – this year’s jacket was a red brocade piece with black lapels – with a unique cut of the lapels.

    The jacket received wide acclaim, getting over 6 bids in the first hour, and a bidding war in the final minutes. As Carol Quist, Board Member of DIFFA Dallas said, “We really appreciate Ruby Bhandari and Silk Threads for not only donating a consistently popular jacket for the third year in a row, but also their dedication to the cause”.

    See the video here for a closer look at the jacket, as well as Ruby’s inspiration for this piece, as described to Amy Vanderhof.
