St. Joe’s Prep Fashion Show Celebrates 70 Years in Style at The Union League
The 70th Annual St. Joe’s Prep Fashion Show, hosted by the Prep Mothers’ Club, returned in full force on Sunday, March 22, transforming the elegant rooms of the The Union League of Philadelphia into a runway filled with tradition, style, and community spirit.
More than 400 women from across the Philadelphia region gathered for an afternoon of fashion, friendship, and philanthropy. The event sold out in less than two days, a testament to its enduring popularity and deep roots within the Prep community.
Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, lunch, and cocktails while taking in the latest looks from Skirt, bringing a modern edge to this long-standing tradition.
Meanwhile, over 100 St. Joe’s Prep seniors took to the runway in classic tuxedos, representing Iacobucci Formal Wear, Rudi’s Formal Wear, and Tony Laguda Formal Wear.
The seniors also played key roles behind the scenes, serving as ticket sellers and greeters, making the event a meaningful final appearance before graduation.
Beyond the fashion, the event serves as one of the Mothers’ Club’s primary fundraisers. Proceeds support a wide range of service initiatives throughout the year, benefiting both the school and the surrounding community. Importantly, funds also provide critical tuition assistance and emergency support for families facing unexpected challenges, ensuring students can continue their education without interruption.
Leading the charge was Fashion Show Committee Co-Chair Ashlee Hollis, who, along with her team at Helm Creative Studio, produced an afternoon that balanced sophistication with heartfelt purpose.
At its core, the St. Joe’s Prep Mothers’ Club remains committed to fostering connection among mothers through spiritual, cultural, and charitable efforts. After 70 years, the Fashion Show continues to be a shining example of that mission in action—bringing people together, celebrating students, and giving back in a meaningful way.
