Fashion and philanthropy

Mary Patton, Neekie Kashani and Stephanie Fleck (pictured, from left), along with more than 300 of Houston’s trendiest philanthropists, united for the 13th annual Tootsies Sizzling Summer Soiree. The annual event raises funds and awareness for the non-profit Dress for Success Houston, which helps women get back into the workforce. The evening was co-hosted by Women of Wardrobe president Susan Oehl, and event emcees were KHOU’s Mia Gradney and KHOU’s Chita Craft. In the crowd were Ashley Seippel, Jordan Lewis, Alyssa Aboloff and Hilary Baars. Oehl mingled with WOW steering committee members Allie Danziger, Karishma Asrani, Paige Branam, Melissa Sugulas and Lauren Granello, among others.
