For this year’s Humane Society’s “Rock and Roll Fashion Show and Luncheon”, held at the Ritz Carlton Naples Beach Resort on November 4, 2016, Marilyn Hellman, a sponsor and member of the event committee, organized the fashion runway show and donated an exclusive red Philip Treacy couture hat for one of the items of the coveted raffle prize. Twelve volunteer models from the community, who wore Italian Fashion accessorized by French and Italian shoes and jewelry from Marilyn’s, shared the runway spotlight with the Humane Society “Top Dogs” walking along the side of their owners and adoptable dogs who walked beside volunteers. All of the dogs were dressed in Rock and Roll attire supplied by their owners, while the twelve models each wore unique designs by Italian designer, Cettina Bucca, sold exclusively in the United States at Marilyn’s, 375 Fifth Avenue South in Naples. Shemane Nugent, wife of Ted Nugent, finished the runway show as special guest model for day. The event was a huge success raising over $300,000 with more 340 people in attendance. Philip Douglas and Doug Olsen, great supporters of the Naples Humane Society, were co-chairs of the event and the Philip Douglas & Co Salon staff created all of the hair and makeup looks for the models.
