On November 9, the Mistique Charity VIP Fashion show took place at Mint Kitchen & Bar restaurant in Riviera del Sol (Mijas Costa) raising €1,000 for us to help continuing our special kind of caring joining up our Sunflower Effect Campaign.

Christina Stiksma from Mistique Fashion involved her friends and acquaintances as well as local business to join up together for Cudeca at her Mistique Fashion Charity VIP Fashion Show where she presented her fashion and introduced fashion for men. The models, friends and customers of Mistique, modelled the fantastic new Autumn/Winter collection for the audience to see and buy at discounted prices.

The Mint Kitchen & Bar Restaurant in Riviera del Sol (Mijas Costa) hosted the fashion show at their venue. Frankie B. was the voice of the evening and helped to launch the new Mistique Fashion for men.

The fashion show united many different visitors from the área and clients of Mistique Fashion who bought and donated for the charity, as well and purchased the Cudeca raffle tickets.

Guests were greeted at the entrance with a glass of Champaign and then guided to their seats, where they waited to be served as the fashion show started. Christina Stiksma, organizar of the event and owner of Mistique Fashion, introduced the show and gave way to the models and Frankie B with dancing music and entertainment. Models were modelling among the guests so they could enjoy the outfits as they were delighted with exquisite food being served by the most profesional staff.

Christina Stiksma said that “this show is very close to my heart since my father passed away to cancer and I feel so deeply connected to Cudeca in this sense. I really hope that you find it too in your heart and donate for the cause, and thank you for coming to my fashion show”.

Esther Ráez, with the Communication and Fundraising department of the hospice was also present at the event and claimed that “your help as community is key to help us survive this critical situation we are going through with the Covid crisis. This has hit us hard and thanks to people like you and Christina we will continue caring for more people who need us. Please visit our site sunflowereffect.org to donate or to get more information”.
