Just because some women are disadvantaged doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be fashionable.

Dress for Success is the official sponsor of Austin Fashion Week.

“We help women who are disadvantaged become economically independent by providing interview clothing and also clothing once they get a job,” Dress For Success Program Coordinator Mia Johns said.
