The 36th annual event benefiting Siskin Children’s Institute was a sellout with more than 800 in attendance.
Dozens of Belk’s top trends in clothing and accessories for men and women were showcased, as well as some children’s attire modeled by Siskin Children’s Institute students.
A bonus this year was the chance to mingle with one of the nation’s top designers, Karen Kane, who attended with husband Lonnie and son Michael to show her latest collection. The Kanes live in Los Angeles, where Karen Kane Inc. is headquartered.
“It was so nice to be able to premiere my summer collection and be a part of such a wonderful event,” the designer said. “Seeing all of the Siskin children on the runway was such a heartwarming moment for me. … I was really touched by the event and how nice everyone was in Chattanooga.”
