No coaxing needed. Just say “fashion,” and women will show up at an event in droves. To support less-fortunate women who are seeking employment, event planner Rachel Hollis organized her own “Fashion’s Night Out” dinner and invited guests to jettison old garments from their wardrobes and bring them to the occasion for donation.

“Clothes are something we all have and something we may take for granted,” explains Hollis. “Every woman knows that a pretty blouse or stylish shoes can make you feel invincible. What a great feeling to share with someone else!”
