CCE Finalizes Plans for ‘Little Black Dress’

WEST PALM BEACH, FL – Committee members organizing the Center for Creative Education’s “Little Black Dress” event met recently to finalize plans for the upcoming program, and were treated to a lesson in fashion from area students enrolled in CCE’s Fashion Design course.

The evening also featured a tour of CCE’s new building, and food and wine, courtesy of PNC.

The second annual “Little Black Dress” event will be held Nov. 1, 2012, at The Gardens Mall Grand Court in Palm Beach Gardens.

The party will begin at the Saks Fifth Avenue entrance, where guests will valet park and be greeted with champagne. The cocktail reception will feature a silent auction in the Saks courtyard before guests head to the Grand Court for supper-by-the-bite tapas and a fashion show.

Saks will present runway and informal modeling of the season’s new fashion lines. Guests can continue the fun with a DJ and have their photo taken with friends.
