A fun and creative event is in the works to show off Kitsap style and at the same time, acknowledge Foster Parent Month in May. Stacy Patrick from Lucky Star clothing shop at Kingston Crossing and Susan Rogers from Design Connection, a Kingston-based interior designer, have teamed up to produce Kitsap Style, a fashion show to benefit Kitsap County Foster Care Association’s Dream Project.

The event will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 21 in the Indianola Clubhouse.

The Dream Project provides grants to foster children, allowing them to purchase special items they want or need including swim and music lessons or clothing such as prom dresses and tuxedos, shoes or coats.

“With the growing Meth problem in Kitsap County, the need for foster parents is huge. We would like to raise awareness and have some fun at the same time!” Patrick explained.

The fashion show will be styled by Patrick, using clothes off the racks of Lucky Star which include new and gently-used contemporary fashions. She’ll combine outfits in five different themes, to be modeled by local women, men and children.

The themes of the runway show will include Boho Chic, All Kids, All Men and Boys, Pencil-Bottom Pants and Ruffles, and Prom Dresses and Evening Wear.

A representative from the Dream Project will open the show by talking about the project and why there’s such a great need to fund it. Information on foster parenting will also be available.

Coastal Coffee will cater the event and Rodgers will serve as emcee. Diane Young, sewing teacher at Lucky Star and textile administrator for Washington state will give a talk on how to update an existing wardrobe to reflect current clothing trends and the correct way to wear garments for individual body shapes.

Kitsap Mail & Print is donating printing services for the programs.

Tickets for the Kitsap Style fashion show are $18, which includes hors d’oeuvres, and are available in advance at the Indianola Country Store, and Lucky Star, Pine Cone Gifts and Coastal Coffee in the Kingston Crossing shopping center at Highway 104 and Hansville Road.
