For over 30 years, our annual fashion show is the place to be. Not just a fashion show, but a friends day out to shop, lunch and view a New York-style runway show featuring top designers such as Veronica Beard, Diane von Furstenberg, Ted Baker, Ella Moss, Karen Millen, Trina Turk, HALSTON Heritage, David Meister, Pamella Roland, Tory Burch, Lilly Pulitzer, BCBG Max Azria and many more. 

The day also features more than 25 local vendors with one of a kind fine jewelry, unique clothing and handbags, and beautiful home decor. Nobody leaves empty handed and it all goes to fund Sandpiper philanthropic endeavors. 

The event attracts guests from all over Los Angeles to gather at the most unique and exclusive venue and historically sells out.

The Fashion Show Experience

Our annual Fashion Show is the perfect occasion to rally your friends to dress up and spend quality time together. Your day starts with shopping over 25 boutique retailers that offer unique items in jewelry, clothing, handbags, beauty and gifts. You can feel good about your purchases with 25% of proceeds from the boutique going back to Sandpipers.

While the boutique is open, our silent auction is taking place. Wander the floor and bid on the well-curated packages from art, lessons, and fine jewelry to fitness, health and beauty. The competition peaks and excitement happens as the silent auction closes. Sandpipers wins when you win, with all auction proceeds benefiting our philanthropic initiatives. 

Next, guests are treated to a sit down luncheon with a custom menu that won’t disappoint. As you enjoy your friends and your meal, the live auction happens. The offerings are so coveted that your competitive spirit comes out just to win that dream trip, or that exclusive wine or chef’s tasting. Spending money never felt so good when you’re raising money for charity-sake. 

The excitement doesn’t end there. Next is our New York-inspired runway fashion show. Collections from our featured designer are showcased on our models so be sure to pick out your favorite pieces. Our exclusive designer boutique is open to shop for that perfect outfit. A day spent at the Sandpipers Fashion Show is a day spent catching up with friends and making new ones while enjoying your favorite past times - lunching, shopping and charitable fundraising.

Boutique Shopping

Shop til you drop while supporting local businesses - all while  helping families in need each year. Our Fashion Show Boutique is the first stop to a day of fun with friends. It offers a wonderful opportunity to treat yourself or someone special to unique and artisanal gifts while supporting Sandpipers’ causes.

Each year, Fashion Show Boutique offers a wonderful opportunity to shop for unique and artisanal gifts for loved ones while supporting our causes. Maybe you should even pick up a few things for yourself!

Your purchases actively help raise money for Sandpipers since 25% of all sales come back to the organization to support Sandpipers’ philanthropic efforts. 

We are always looking for that special merchant who caters to the unique tastes of our fashion show guests drawing from the South Bay and Los Angeles. If that’s you, we invite you to complete an application here.

Auctions

More ways to support our philanthropic efforts. Get that competitive spirit going and bid on our Our Silent and Live Auctions. Thanks to our volunteers and generous donors our auction items offer something for everyone. There’s no better feeling than getting that trip of a lifetime while advancing the charitable goals of Sandpipers.
