2024 Behind the Seams Fashion Show
Behind the Seams, a high-energy fashion show benefiting Eva’s Village, will take place at Bottagra Restaurant in Hawthorne on Wednesday, May 15 from 5:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. This year marks the 14th annual Behind the Seams which has raised $1.8 million for Eva’s Village since its inception and attracts approximately 300 guests each year. Proceeds from Behind the Seams allow Eva’s Village to provide care and support to individuals struggling with poverty, hunger, homelessness, and substance use disorders.
“Eva’s Village is committed to giving those in need hope and a second chance through our integrated approach which is made possible by fundraising events like Behind the Seams,” said Joey Mazza, Special Events Manager for Eva’s Village. “Our volunteer committee is working passionately to create an evening filled with positive energy, fine dining and high-end fashion.”
Behind the Seams will consist of a lavish cocktail hour, gourmet food and beverage stations, silent and live auctions, and a tented runway show featuring 2024 spring and summer styles by two clothing boutiques with long-standing roots in New Jersey. Male styles will be presented by Sal Lauretta for Men, a men’s shop in Midland Park that specializes in fine made-to-measure and designer menswear. Boutique 811, a women’s fashion boutique in Franklin Lakes that offers unique styles plus personal styling services, will showcase seasonal trends for women.
Thanks to donor support, last year Eva’s Village was able to:
• Serve over 368,000 meals to guests and its residents.
• Help 380 people in their Halfway Houses, including 33 families in its Hope Residence for Women and Children.
• Provide housing to 181 individuals in its Emergency Shelters.
