Vintage fashion, community spirit and a mission to change lives will come together later this month during the upcoming Redeemed & Restyled Vintage Fashion Show, a fundraiser benefiting two local organizations dedicated to helping women and families find hope and healing.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, at The Venue on Pearl in downtown Minden, where guests will enjoy vintage shopping, a fashion show featuring local models, tea, hors d’oeuvres, door prizes and an evening centered around restoration and redemption. All proceeds from the event will benefit Amadea and Phillip’s Cottage, two nonprofits working to support women as they rebuild their lives.
Among the featured models will be Sara McDaniel, founder of Simply Southern Cottage, whose passion for restoration extends far beyond historic homes. McDaniel has become well known throughout the region for her preservation work, including projects featured on the Magnolia Network, and has dedicated much of her recent efforts to creating opportunities for women seeking a fresh start.
Phillip’s Cottage was established in honor of McDaniel’s late father, Phillip Carroll, a longtime educator, veteran and minister known for his lifelong commitment to serving others. The transitional home was created to provide safe housing and support for women and children graduating from recovery programs as they prepare for independent living. The cottage can accommodate multiple women and their children, offering stability during a critical season of transition.
Amadea shares a similar mission of helping women and families overcome difficult circumstances and move toward a brighter future. Together, the organizations provide resources, encouragement and practical support designed to break cycles of hardship and create lasting change.
The event’s “Redeemed & Restyled” theme reflects not only vintage fashion and repurposed treasures but also the transformative journeys of the women and families served by these ministries.
Guests are encouraged to dress up, enjoy an afternoon of fellowship and support a cause that is making a tangible difference in the lives of local families.
For many, the event serves as a reminder that just as vintage pieces can be restored and given new life, people can too!
The Redeemed & Restyled Fashion Show will take place Saturday, June 27, at The Venue on Pearl in Minden. Tickets are available now, with proceeds benefiting Amadea and Phillip’s Cottage.
