Broadway, Beethoven and Bon Jovi

Fashion meets performance art on Thursday, August 21, 2025, as the second annual EMBELLISHED Wearable Arts Fashion Show takes over Dimension Nightclub for an 
electrifying evening of style, creativity, and community impact. Hosted by Bayshore Arts District, Inc., this high-energy runway event fuses fashion, music, and art to raise funds for Naples’ flourishing creative community. 
This year’s theme, “Broadway, Beethoven and Bon Jovi,” promises a symphonic spectacle — blending theatrical glamour, classical elegance, and rock-and-roll attitude. Every outfit is a living, breathing canvas; every model, a storyteller. 

Featured Highlights 
• Red Carpet Host: Mimy von Schreiner-Valenti. 
• Runway Emcee: Kimberly Columbia. 
• Auction Co-Hosts: Vicki Tracey and Chris Lombardo. 
• Live DJ: DJ Just Jake (CycleBar Naples) — spinning pre-show and post-show. 
• Honorary Chair: Vicki Tracey. 
• Event Co-Chairs: Josey Prior and Kimberly Columbia. 
• Creative Director: Amanda Jaron. 
Ticket Options 
• VIP Admission: Includes premium seating, swag bag, and complimentary drinks. 
• General Admission: Includes show entry and access to the afterparty. 

The Afterparty 
When the catwalk ends, the party begins. DJ Just Jake takes over the dance floor under Southwest Florida’s largest disco ball, spinning favorites late into the night. 
Fashion with Purpose 

Proceeds will help launch a 10,000-square-foot creative hub in the Bayshore Arts District, featuring: 
• Affordable artist studios. 
• Professional photography studio. 
• Community art gallery. 
• Educational classrooms for workshops. 

“Fashion is the only art form we all wear,” says Creative Director Amanda Jaron. “It only comes to life on the human form – it’s a living, breathing expression of who we are.” 

Honoring a Legacy 
This year’s event will honor Jacqueline Morelisse, a lifelong artist, philanthropist, and champion of arts education, for her decades-long commitment to building a more creative and connected community. 

Investing in Future Artists 
For the first time, EMBELLISHED will feature a student-designed collection created by middle schoolers from the Grace Place Summer Academy, mentored by Juju Jacobs, Josey Prior, and Amanda Jaron. 

50% of the proceeds from this special collection will benefit Grace Place, supporting youth arts education and empowerment.
