The glamour of a New York fashion show is the inspiration for Festival of Fashion, a benefit for CARTI. 

Festival of Fashion, at 10 a.m. Dec. 2 at Statehouse Convention Center, 7 Statehouse Plaza, Little Rock, features local boutiques showing off new styles while guests enjoy hors d'oeuvres and sip champagne. It's a benefit for Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute.

The event offers theater seating along the runway for close-up looks at styles from B. Barnett, Barbara Jean, Companions, Evolve, Faux Pas, Proposals, Roberson's Fine Jewelry, Scarlet, Solemates, Tulips and Vesta's, an auction -- including a trip for two to New York during Fashion Week (where you'll get to see Little Rock's Korto Momolu's show) -- and shopping at Deck the Halls gift shop.

Tickets are $50. To purchase call (501) 660-7634 or click here.
