Award-winning celebrity hair maven Faatemah has signed on as lead hairstylist for designer Emma Berg’s “I Am Everything” benefit fashion show, Tuesday, April 22 at the Ritz Theater.
Combining the worlds of fashion and philanthropy, the event will debut Berg’s Spring/Summer 2014 dress collection designed by Berg exclusively for 10 senior high school students who where selected from five Boys & Girls Clubs in the Twin Cities. The young women will walk the runway in the dresses – and take them home for this year’s prom.
The event’s title represents the future possibilities that less financially privileged youth have when they are provided the necessary support and tools early on in their education to help them grown, uncover opportunities and reach their individual potential.
Faatemah will provide hair styling services and direction, bringing her retro glam hair prowess to the event’s behind-the-scenes team. “I am excited to donate my time and talents to such a wonderful cause. I look forward to helping pamper and glam these young ladies. I understand the value of self-esteem, especially as a teenager, and how important it is when it comes to making good choices. I believe good self-esteem correlates with great successes later in life.”
In addition to the “I Am Everything” collection, Berg will showcase a capsule from her Fall/Winter 2014 collection on the runway. The evening is produced by Sarah Edwards of I AM MPLS and I AM Kindness and will be emceed by fashion expert Grant Whittaker. The collections will be styled by Davee Ek; MOTTO and designer Claire Ward will also have featured segments styled by Lisa Marie Gherardini.
“I Am Everything” takes place Tuesday, April 22, 6pm at the Ritz Theater located at 345 13th Ave. N.E. in Minneapolis. Tickets may be purchased in advance online or at the door – 75% of ticket sales will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities.
