On Thursday, September 22, The Country Friends’ 56th Annual Art of Fashion takes place at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in partnership with South Coast Plaza. This year’s event honors Priscilla Webb and the late Luba Johnston, and proceeds will benefit 28 area charities. A stellar opportunity drawing will feature luxury goods from South Coast Plaza retailers, and a separate drawing offers two first-class tickets to Honolulu courtesy of Alaska Airlines. The runway show will highlight fashions from the 2011 Fall/Winter collections of Emilio Pucci, MaxMara, Oscar de la Renta, Versace, and more. Featured here are designs by selected partipating retailers, photographed at The Country Friends in Rancho Santa Fe. Ranch & Coast’s Mia Stefanko serves as event chair and Andrea Naversen is emcee. Purchase tickets by phone or online. (858/756-1192, ext. 4, www.thecountryfriends.org)
