A fashionable bash in support of the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital

The 630 guests at FashionFest 2018 opened their pocketbooks to raise more than $400,000 in support of the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital this past November. Guests shopped local boutique pop-up stores while enjoying a high-energy fashion show, produced by Moore Creative Talent. New York designer Nicole Miller attended, and models ranged from runway pros like Gino Valentini—son of attorney David Valentini and Smile Network International founder Kim Valentini—to local media personalities, including WCCO-TV meteorologist Mike Augustyniak, KARE 11 anchor Cory Hepola, FOX 9 reporter Todd Walker, MPR host Angela Davis, WCCO radio host Jordana Green, WCCO-TV reporter Ali Lucia, and the always-on-point fashionista WCCO anchor Amelia Santaniello. The crowd favorites of the night were the Minnesota Wild’s Jason Zucker and the Minnesota Vikings’ Kyle Rudolph sporting furs by Ribnick.
