the style show: a runway to empower

rare by design

The Style Show: A Runway to Empower is a New York City-style fashion show held in the Midwest. This style show, hosted by the Rare by Design organization, features models of varied abilities, ages, genders (LGBTQIA), races + diverse body types; all to showcase how breathtakingly beautiful each of us truly are. In addition to the runway style show, spotlighted at the event is a cocktail hour with a glitzy photo booth, delicious bites, champagne + a modern runway set-up. 

They live up to the hype. They possess a level of excellence in service from the first phone call to the event wrap-up meeting. Addie has a 5* standard for her company, + her team models it in practice. I’d recommend The Event Company to anyone, without hesitation.

I had the privilege of working with The Event Company at Crossroads Summit. The Event Company was instrumental in guiding our team through the planning process. I cannot recommend them enough. They were incredible. They took our concepts + ideas, brought them to life + took them to the next level. They helped us design an amazing experience for all of our attendees. The Event Company thought of every detail, worked with vendors, helped with theme development, negotiated pricing, helped with the cadence of the day + kept everything running smoothly. If you want to transform an event into an experience, hire the experts at The Event Company.

I have the honor of working at hundreds of private events per year + it’s always an absolute privilege to work with the amazing team at The Event Company. I can honestly say they are the most organized, detailed + caring planner I have ever worked with. It may be selfish, but our team LOVES working with them because it makes our lives so much easier…they always have everything planned for us down to the minute. They do an incredible job of unifying all vendors to ensure the client always has an outstanding event.

My team + I have had the privilege of working with Addie + The Event Company on USD's annual Calling All Coyotes auction for the last three years + hopefully, many more to come! From the second you connect with Addie + her team, you know something great is about to happen. The team is incredibly committed to staying current with event fundraising + social media trends which has made the biggest impact in our event. They are truly a team of event magicians who are dedicated to creating the best event possible for all parties involved. Cheers to you for another amazing event + of course, lots of laughs along the way!
