Dress for Success Cincinnati is proud to invite you to our most anticipated event of the year, our annual Fashion Show, taking place on Friday, September 12, 2025, at Mercantile Immersive, Cincinnati’s newest and most innovative venue. With state-of-the-art 360-degree lighting and sound, this immersive space offers the perfect backdrop for a night of community, fashion, and purpose. We are honored to be the very first event hosted at this stunning location!
This year’s theme, Wicked, celebrates the power of lifting one another up. It’s a nod to the strength, resilience, and sisterhood that define the women we serve and the community that rallies around them. Through every moment of the evening, you’ll witness how confidence, opportunity, and empowerment can transform lives.
Guests will enjoy a plated dinner and drinks, with full-service valet parking included. The evening begins with an exclusive VIP cocktail reception for our premium ticket holders, offering a chance to connect with other supporters and kick off the celebration in style.
Throughout the program, you’ll hear inspiring stories of perseverance, transformation, and personal growth. These are the real moments that define our mission and remind us all why this work matters.
The highlight of the evening is our runway fashion show, featuring a diverse set of models as well as a range of styles from local boutiques. From elevated formalwear to comfortable everyday looks, the show offers something for everyone and reflects the broad spectrum of confidence and individuality we aim to foster in the women we serve.
Adding to the excitement, our silent auction will return with a wide selection of one-of-a-kind experiences and packages—including luxury vacations, exclusive outings, and more. Every dollar raised through ticket sales, auction bids, and donations directly supports Dress for Success Cincinnati’s career development, styling, and coaching programs for women in our region.
We are honored to welcome Stevi Gable Carr, Founder and CEO of WISe Wellness Guild, as our 2025 Fashion Show Honorary Chair. Stevi is a longtime advocate for women’s empowerment and wellbeing, and her leadership is a powerful reflection of our shared mission. We’re grateful for her support and vision in helping to shape this year’s experience!
Tickets are available now, and we encourage early reservations as we anticipate a full house:
- VIP Admission – $250 (includes pre-show cocktail party!)
- General Admission – $195
This is more than a night out, it’s a chance to invest in the potential of women throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. By attending, you help ensure that more women have access to the tools, support, and confidence they need to thrive in work and in life.
We hope you’ll join us for a powerful evening that promises to inspire, engage, and uplift.
