NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hutch, a leading New York-based fashion brand committed to empowering women, proudly announces its partnership with Becca’s Closet, a non-profit organization that provides prom dresses and accessories to high school girls in need. As part of this partnership, Hutch has donated 35 dresses, including 30 plus-sized options, to Becca’s Closet for their annual prom event.
The dresses donated by Hutch encompass a diverse range of sizes, from XL-1X to 2-14, ensuring that every young woman attending the prom found the perfect dress for their special night. Among the popular styles donated are the Isadora, Whitlee, Bardot, Evi, Toni, and Tarina dresses from Hutch's SP '24 collections and selections from their Fall ‘23, Holiday ‘23, and Resort ‘24 collections. Additionally, Anthropologie exclusives, such as a faux feather long-sleeve sequin mini dress and the Fringed Chevron Mini Dress, have been generously contributed by Hutch.
In addition to dresses, the Hutch team has donated a balloon archway for the prom photo station, further enhancing the magical atmosphere of the event. Winnie’s Closet Boutique has also lent its support, providing dresses and makeup and hiring beauty specialists to give live tutorials on makeup application for prom, as well as hair stylists to demonstrate hairstyles for the students. Winnie’s Closet Boutique has been boots on the ground for over 20 years in disadvantaged urban communities throughout Brooklyn. They have a longstanding tradition of generosity, donating baskets filled with beauty accessories needed for prom, which are raffled off for free to the students. For the past nine years, they have managed the Red Carpet Ready Program within their prom dress program, honoring 12 outstanding students from high schools throughout all five boroughs. Each of these students receives all of their accessories, including tiaras, clutch bags, jewelry, shoes, and gift cards for manicures and pedicures.
Becca’s Closet's annual prom occurred on May 25, 2024, at Mount Sion Baptist Church in New York. Over 83 girls from the local community had the opportunity to attend this memorable event, thanks to the generosity of donors like Hutch.
“We are deeply committed to empowering women and supporting organizations that share our values of inclusivity and generosity.” says Daniel Saponaro, Owner and Creative Director of Hutch. “Partnering with Becca’s Closet for this event was a natural fit for us as their mission to provide prom dresses to high school girls aligns perfectly with our own dedication to making every woman feel confident and beautiful."
