High fashion meets heartfelt causes at Naples Fashion Week

By Jason Drew

The runway is getting ready, and Naples Fashion Week is set to begin, lasting from March 27 through April 4. This year’s event blends high fashion with heartfelt causes, benefiting The Shelter for Abused Women & Children and the Patty Baker Humane Society.

Jason Drew spent the day “Gulfcoasting” with the people behind it all, including Roberta Beranek, CEO of Naples Fashion Week, and Linda Oberhaus, CEO of The Shelter for Abused Women & Children. They shared how this year’s expanded lineup is elevating both the fashion and the mission behind the event.

And never mind the catwalk — we even had a puppy strut. Thanks to Becca Morris, CEO of the Patty Baker Humane Society in Naples, Drew met a couple of adoptable puppies who were more than ready for their close‑ups.

Naples Fashion Week brings together style, community and purpose, creating a weeklong celebration that supports two organizations making a real impact in the Gulf Coast.
