WASHINGTON - April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- SNOBSWAP & Dewdrop are delighted to announce Swap In The City charity swap party and fashion show on Thursday, May 9th from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at tech hub 1776. The dynamic duo invites fashion enthusiasts to swap designer clothing and accessories and enjoy a fashion-focused event to help end domestic violence.  

Swap In the City will rally DC’s emerging fashion giants for a fun-filled evening of social shopping and style sneak peaks. Attendees dropping off their luxury swaps will be greeted with complimentary cocktails and treats, a wealth of style tips from local experts, and have the opportunity to meet the wave of style savvy startup founders shaping DC’s fashion future.  With music from DJ Kryogen and Comcast Sports’ Julie Donaldson as hostess, the soiree will offer a glimpse of ready-to-wear looks by D’Milikah while the top designer swap items will be modeled down the runway by CapFabb bloggers. Closing the night with a high-end clothing swap, event-goers will walk away with coveted, designer goods for a noble cause. All unswapped items will be donated to the Goodwill of Greater Washington and a portion of the event ticket proceeds will benefit Becky’s Fund (../../AppData/Local/Downloads/BeckysFund.org), a non-profit that aims to foster awareness, encourage advocacy, promote activism and create support for victims of domestic violence.
