Luke's Wings Fashion Takes Flight 2010

Event Planner Howard Radis was asked to have Gala Events, Inc. design an aircraft carrier themed runway for a fundraiser at the Long View Gallery.

Fashion Takes Flight at the Long View Gallery served as the kickoff event to the 2010 campaign and Luke’s Wings third anniversary celebration. Attendees of the event enjoyed cocktails, gourmet hors d'eourves from some of the Washington area's best restaurants, as well as a luxury silent auction. Models in the fashion show walked through a runway designed to look like an airplane landing strip. The models included D.C. United's Devon McTavish, and military service men and women ‘took flight’ in a swank, high energy runway exhibition highlighting cutting edge fashion from Washington’s best boutiques and collections by the District's premier designers. WUSA 9’s Angie Goff hosted the event.

Luke’s Wings is an organization dedicated to the support of service members who have been wounded in battle.
