Thread Becky

The size-inclusive fashion show La Vie en Rose showcases Untitled Thoughts, Brittani Bumb’s eco-friendly apparel line, as well as Thread Becky, a new clothing label by seamstress and musician Becky Brooks. After being diagnosed with breast cancer last May, Brooks underwent chemotherapy and surgery to remove tumors, all while stitching away to take her mind off treatment. A “Shades of Pink” segment will share pieces designed by Dulce Brousset, Mary Ellen DiMauro, Tabitha Fielteau, Catherine Hamrick, Christy Hughes, Anna Leber, Miranda Rupkey and Lindsey Simunec. Organized by personal stylist Rachel Barnes and hosted by Boybutante, the runway show will be followed by a dance party with DJ Immuzikation. All proceeds benefit Athens Breast Fest.
