Variety’s Fashion Kickoff, preceding this year’s Variety Fashion Show, transpired at a private club on Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Guests guests mingled with Mayte Allende, Market Editor of Women’s Wear Daily, Whitney Brune, St John Stylist, and Alicia McAllister, St John Specialist. Anita Jackson performed some lively standards during the event, and guests enjoyed food and drinks as they watched the gorgeous designer models display many of the latest fashions throughout the evening.

Greg Myler of St. John Knits represents the designer at the April 26th Runway Fashion Show. St. John Knits, known for their distinctive, elegant style, are worn by First Ladies, corporate executives and Hollywood celebrities. Chairs for Children with one-of-a-kind accent chairs designed by St Louis’ finest interior designers also will take place at the event. Kimberly Steward chairs the event, and the Chairs for Children is ‘chaired’ by Elke Koch.
