The charity fashion event will begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres from Celebrations Catering, and the opportunity to tour the Currier Museum’s current special exhibition, The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec. Drawn from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, Lautrec’s bold lithographs highlight Paris and the city’s eccentric inhabitants, whose lives the artist celebrated through his art.
Upon entering the Currier’s Winter Garden, guests will be transported into a New England woodland themed runway, and experience an intimate view of the Sanguine collection. A live art auction will take place during the fashion show, including pieces from premiere New Hampshire artists.
