2010 International Festival of Fashion a success

 

Easter Alfonse, Nigeria
Easther from Sudan.

Despite the wintery weather, more than 125 people attended the YWCA’s of Mankato’s second annual International Festival of Fashion at Red Sky Lounge to celebrate diversity with style.

 

Guests were treated to a night full of fashion, ethnic foods from around the world, traditional dances and songs, and artwork and crafts created by local immigrants and refugees.

The event also provided a great opportunity for people to connect with each and to learn more about each other's cultural backgrounds, showcasing Mankato's rich diversity.

 

Proceeds from this event will fund the YWCA’s Walking in Two Worlds program, which serves immigrant and refugee women and children.
