A runway show for a good cause? An excuse to dress up in cocktail attire and enjoy a three-course dinner? Sorry boys, but we’re booked up Friday night. The Little City Foundation is hosting a benefit on March 4 to raise awareness and funds for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The event will start off with a cocktail reception (read: networking opportunity to score your new job) and a three-course sit-down dinner. Neiman Marcus is sponsoring the fashion show showcasing Spring 2011 designs by all of your favorites: Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, and Nanette Lepore, and more. Since every outfit needs accessories, you can shop a trunk show of handcrafted jewelry, accessories, and artwork created by the talented artists of the Little City’s Center for the Arts. Fashion and philanthropy make for the perfect Friday evening.
