High fashion at the
French Festival
Star-Bulletin
A fairy tale will come true for one woman during the French Festival's "Cinderella Search" at DFS Galleria.
From 7 to 9 p.m. today and tomorrow, try to slip your foot into a specially designed princess shoe by Charles Jourdan, and if it fits, your name will be entered in a drawing to become the festival's Cinderella.
Women must be 18 or older to try on the shoe. The grand drawing will be held at 10 p.m. tomorrow.
"Cinderella" will win a complete fashion and makeover package, and two tickets to attend the French Festival Fashion Ball "Cirque de la Mode." The package also includes a formal gown rental from Watabe Wedding, a hair and makeover session, and the Jourdan shoes to keep. Formal wear by Watabe for Cinderella's escort is optional.
Also happening at the French Fest are these events; all are free, except where noted.
