There’s nothing better than doing something you love while supporting a wonderful cause. This was my exact experience walking the runway for the Fashion Fights Arthritis event in San Francisco in May of 2019. This event, held at the Fairmont in San Francisco, helped raise money for the Arthritis Foundation in a creative and fabulous way.
I had such a blast modeling with Farah Makras and Mimi Pasicatan.

Walking on the runway was so much fun! Feeling glamorous while supporting a great cause is what it’s all about. Also, let’s talk about how stunning this dress is with its matching oversized blazer…
All of the pieces for the event were provided by luxury retailers Jeffrey Palo Alto and Gene Hiller Stylists Sausalito.
I had the privilege of wearing two gorgeous outfits, but this Gucci dress and blazer pairing may have been my favorite. Finishing the ensemble with a bold red lip was the perfect touch to complete this luxe look.
Take a look at these other incredible looks on the attendees from the Fashion Fights Arthritis Show.
I absolutely adore this floral outfit with the one accented leg.
My second outfit of the night: this beautiful pinstripe midi-dress. The button down front adds a formal element to the otherwise sundress-feeling piece. Paired with some nude wedges and again that gorgeous bold red lip!

More hot looks from the runway. There is no shortage of couture at the Fashion Fights Arthritis Show.
This whole event gave me such fashion inspiration! Thankfully, there was a pop-up boutique at the show with all of the best designer pieces. I was able to refresh my closet while having a fabulous time.
After all of the glitz and glam of the show, Fashion Fights Arthritis Chair, Whitney Hudak takes a final bow.
