An Evening A beautiful Thursday evening: men, women, and children from five different states all gathered together for a night of caring. The annual event was held at the Marriott in Denver, where family, friends, supporters, and survivors came together in an effort to continue spreading the word about breast cancer awareness and empowering women and men through fashion! Brooks Luby, Fashion Designer of Brooks LTD, designed the outfits for the day of caring survivors. Brooks, who has been involved for the past 26 years, since she herself is a survivor, is very passionate about what she does and how she empowers others. Brooks said her designs this year were inspired by her last trip to Paris, using floral fabrics and bold colors that definitely stood out. Recent survivor, Sherri Goldstein, said, “Brooks’s designs really made me feel beautiful and special, a feeling that you sometimes lose when you are going through this difficult time.” Survivor for ten years, Saundra Robinson, also added that, “her designs made me feel exquisite and feminine.” Floral print, lace, hand stitched, and applicant detail; these elements made Brooks LTD the fashion statement that night. A beautiful collection, for sure, as each model glowed in their fashionable designs. Her looks consistently empowered each survivor as they walked the runway and injected an unforgettable delicacy and charm.
