WHAT:   SAKS FIFTH AVENUE and the LEAGUE TO SAVE LAKE TAHOE will celebrate over five decades of partnership in their annual fashion show and luncheon taking place Saturday, August 6 on the shores of Lake Tahoe. This year’s event will feature the OSCAR DE LA RENTA Resort 2023 collection presented by Creative Directors LAURA KIM and FERNANDO GARCIA.

                            

                             The elegant luncheon and full-scale runway fashion show will be held at the Schumacher family home on a beautiful stretch of Lake Tahoe’s iconic shoreline. The day begins with a cocktail reception hosted by Corcoran Global Living, continues with a luncheon and live auction MC’d by Jennifer Wright of Christie’s and hosted by the Diana Dollar Knowles Foundation, and concludes with a backstage shopping opportunity to follow the runway fashion show.  A guest list of 425 will attend.

 

                             The Tahoe fashion show tradition dates back to 1969 when barefoot models wearing designer Bill Blass’s collection walked across a plywood stage as the event’s first 100 guests enjoyed box lunches from picnic table seating on the sand.  In 1999, Bill Blass handed the baton to the legendary Oscar de la Renta. Now in its 53rd year, the fashion show has evolved into a widely anticipated fundraiser for both Saks and the League to Save Lake Tahoe, resulting in over $21 million raised to fuel the League’s mission to “Keep Tahoe Blue.”
