The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley (JLLV) hosted the American Girl Fashion Show recently at Lehigh University's Iacocca Hall. This fashion show demonstrates historical and contemporary fashions for girls and their dolls. Proceeds from the event benefit the JLLV's children's programs including Kids in the Kitchen, aimed at providing education and tools encouraging healthy lifestyles.

One hundred and sixty-two local models presented the fashions. Audiences enjoyed the historical clothing, from daywear to sleepwear to special occasion clothing that resembled what the popular American Girl characters might have worn.

The event also included refreshments, party favors, raffles, a doll salon and door prizes.

The JLLV is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

American Girl is proud to partner with nonprofit organizations to present Fashion Show events to raise funds for children's charities.
