Couture for a Cure 2023

Couture for a Cure is back for its 18th year, bringing together fashion, fun and philanthropy in support of Van Andel Institute’s mission.

Co-hosts Carol Van Andel and Rebecca Wierda will guide you through a one-of-a-kind fashion show by Leigh’s, along with the unique presence of this year’s featured designer, SIMKHAI. Founded in 2010 by designer Jonathan Simkhai, the studio takes inspiration from architects and sculptors, blending progressive construction techniques with intimate hand-detailing to create truly special garments. The runway will feature skincare and makeup from Artistry™, with opportunities for guests to learn more about the looks and products at the beauty bar.

Along with unforgettable fashion, the evening will feature a strolling cocktail hour, a silent auction, and a thrilling after-party featuring live entertainment from DJ AB. Guests will receive exclusive gift bags featuring exclusive items from Artistry and event sponsors.

All proceeds directly fund biomedical research and science education programs at the Institute.
