In addition to the awards ceremony, the event also features cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and a live fashion show. Tix are $50.
“We wanted to recognize those designers in Marin County who have not had a vehicle to showcase their talents and contributions in the local community,” said Kevin Patsel, the event’s organizer and the Marin sales manager for Vanguard Properties. “We saw a missed opportunity to give these designers the kudos and credit they deserve for bringing design into our lives.”
