A "Day on the Terrace" fashion show, a record-breaking fundraiser for The Service Club of Chicago

The Service Club of Chicago hosted its annual “Day on the Terrace” fashion show luncheon at The Peninsula Chicago, on August 1. Themed “Cinema Paradiso,” the much-loved event returned to the Pen after a two-year Covid hiatus. Over 300 fashion-loving men and women gathered to lend their support to the SC and veteran event co-chairs Jean Antoniou (SC president), Tracey DiBuono (her ZZAZZ Productions produced the fashion show), and Sharyl Mackey.  

Models included a number of Service Club members, as well as a bevy of local celebrities and media personalities. A silent auction, raffle prizes, a keepsake Look Book and a jam-packed goody bag added to the excitement of the day.

Fashions showcased featured the latest trends from some of the top retailers on the Avenue: alice + olivia, Anne Fontaine, Contessa Bottega, Cram Fashion, Elda de la Rosa Couture, Lauren Lein, Ltd., Max Mara, Mira Couture, Neiman Marcus Michigan Avenue, Peter Millar, St. John Boutique, Suit Supply, SYLWIA, and York Furrier.

After the show and lunch, the fun and festivities continued at a fabulous After Party on the Terrace! Dancing to the beats of DJ Akib, specialty cocktails, a “photo frame” and lots of relaxation and friendship ensued. The event raised over $215K, a new record high for DOT, with all event proceeds supporting the nonprofit’s Philanthropic Grant Fund. (theserviceclubofchicago.org)
