Indulge Yourself: Couture En Blanc Cookies & Champagne

Taking place on the Jewlery TV Rooftop Saturday, September, 28, 2024, the Couture En Blanc: Cookies & Champagne runway show aims to spread awareness of and fundraise for Magnolia Harbor Carefarm, a local Knoxville 501(c)3.

The Aaron White Project presents Couture En Blanc - Cookies & Champagne.

Why cookies and champagne?

This show concept is about juxtaposition--a turning towards to honor and appreciate the complexity of two opposing concepts. The "and" that embraces and honors the journey through this life.

Cookies represent the varying textures of life and meaningful simplicity of moments. The comfort so often associated with certain treats can be found in a cookie--from the joy of celebrating big life moments such as a new baby, a new job, a wedding, or graduation of any sort to the comfort of soothing a broken heart longing to connect with a loved one--cookies are there.

AND...cookies are fragile and can break, fall apart, and crumble.

Champagne is bubbly, effervescent, sweet or savory in flavor. Champagne represents the finer things in life--the dreams, goals, and aspirations we hope to achieve--the best parts of ourselves that we want to share with the rest of the world.

AND...champagne is vulnerable with it's shape defined by the glass in which the liquid is contained.

The juxtaposition of cookies and champagne is not unlike the therapeutic work of Magnolia Harbor.

When the heart is shattered and crumbling from grief, it feels as though there is no space in this world that can contain the enormity or gravity of the overwhelming feelings.

And yet, such a place does exist.

Magnolia Harbor is such a place. A place where there is no feeling so big that it cannot be held with tenderness, compassion, understanding, acceptance, and love. Human beings connect with one another, they connect with the rescue animals, and they connect with the property. Even when the crumbled pieces are beyond recognition, there is a safe container that can hold and honor each and every crumbled piece of that person's story and pain.

Broken, grieving hearts finding levity and light in the authenticity of connection with rescue animals.
The beauty of a compassionate, connected community safely holding the enormity and gravity of traumatic grief.

Peanut butter cookies and a glass of champagne.

Two concepts entirely different from one another, and yet, when appreciated together, bring a deeper appreciation for the wholeness of being uniquely, beautifully human.

"When words are not enough, we turn to images and symbols to tell our stories. And in telling our stories through art, we find pathways to wellness, recovery, and transformation."--Dr. Cathy Malchiodi

Why this is an event you do not want to miss!

Taking place on the Jewlery TV Rooftop Saturday, September, 28, 2024, the Couture En Blanc: Cookies & Champagne runway show captures the juxtaposition of two concepts that, at first take, do not belong together; yet, when appreciated together, we find that one exists right alongside the other.

Doors will open at 6 PM for a cocktail hour before the show. Enjoy sipping chama signature cocktail provided by Dripping Springs Vodka. Indulge yourself with a decadent cookies and cupcakes provided by Magpies. Mingle with guests and admire the contemporary art on display by Mark Carson English.

As the sun starts to set the magic comes to life as Elite Pour LaVie hits the runway with European and Middle Eastern Couture.
After the runway show stick around and meet the owner of Elite Pour LaVie, Rawan Asad.
