About this Event
We are delighted to announce that the sixth annual Italian Cultural & Community Center (ICCC) Fashion Show & Luncheon chaired by Jeff and Kathryn Sacco Smith will be held on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at River Oaks Country Club with registration beginning at 11:00 a.m.
The event will feature a runway show of the latest Italian designs curated by Elizabeth Anthony, a premier silent auction, and chances to win dazzling prizes. This year, we’re celebrating esteemed Honoree Franco Valobra for his philanthropic efforts in Houston and beyond. In homage to Franco’s Italian heritage and the birthplace of the Valobra Jewelry Atelier, the event’s theme is Saluti da Torino (“Greetings from Torino”). Don your best Italian-chic attire for this glamorous event benefiting a worthy cause.
Since 2000, the Italian Cultural & Community Center of Houston has awarded more than $325,000 in scholarships to college students in the greater Houston area. The Fashion Show & Luncheon raises funds to create opportunities for higher education, including for students participating in study abroad programs in Italy. Please join us in inspiring these bright, young students through the power of education and cultural exchange.
