A Celebration of Style, Strength, and Legacy

Respect Your Elders - Make It Fashion

Respect Your Elders - Make It Fashion isn’t just a runway show—it’s a bold celebration of aging, resilience, and community pride.

 

Join us for an unforgettable evening that fuses fashion, connection, and purpose. This vibrant event features models aged 55 and older—including individuals with disabilities—proving that true style is ageless and confidence never goes out of fashion.

​

All proceeds benefit Circle of Care St. Louis, helping us deliver critical programs for older adults and adults with disabilities—from case management and in-home support to community wellness education. Your support helps our clients age with dignity, safety, and independence.

​

We’ll also honor this year’s Golden Trailblazer Award recipients—remarkable individuals age 70+ who’ve made a lasting impact in the St. Louis community through leadership, service, and legacy.

​
