ANAHEIM — So-Phis of Orange County, a social and philanthropic organization, will host its 59th annual Fashion Show, Luncheon and Boutique on Saturday, April 15, at the Anaheim Hilton and Towers, located at 777 Convention Way next to the Convention Center.
David Ono (Emmy and Edward R. Murrow award winner, and co-anchor for ABC7 Eyewitness news) and Aaron Takahashi (actor and writer, known for “Yes Man,” “The Wedding Ringer” and “Mr. Robot”) will again act as masters of ceremonies.
This year’s theme is “Hope, Dream, Inspire…Connecting Generations,” with the focus on how social media is fast becoming our “connection” to the world that can help bridge generations. The fashion show will again present a beautiful collection of fashions for spring by designers Jazzmin, Renko, Yearsley, and young girls’ designer Lularoe.
