Ladies who lunch

The Latin Women’s Initiative (LWI) welcomed 900 fashionable supporters to the 22nd annual LWI fashion show and luncheon to raise funds for services for Houston’s Latino community. Board president Patrica Garcia, honorary chair Becky Reyes, and event chair Jolene Trevino (pictured, from left) joined other fashionistas in the Hilton Americas ballroom for the sold-out Brazilian Carnival-themed event emceed by KPRC 2’s Daniella Guzman. The marketplace shopping event began at 10 a.m. and was packed with ladies shopping and sipping curated tequilas. Saks Fifth Avenue’s general manager Heidi Turney led the fashion show with a personal appearance from featured designer Patricia Bonaldi, founder and creator of PatBo. The event was the most successful in the luncheon’s history, raising more than $550,000.
