Tootsies Summer Soirée

As the unofficial kickoff to Houston’s party season, Tootsies Summer Soiree welcomed more than 300 of Houston’s haute philanthropic guests dressing for the occasion to enjoy an evening of exclusive fashion, food, sips, and shopping. Since 2003, this event has raised over $300,000 for DFS Houston. Thank you, Tootsies, for all your continued support and passion for empowering the women of Houston!

We want to thank this year’s Summer Soirée’s sponsor, Reliant Energy, for its unwavering and longstanding support. We also want to thank all attendees for joining us to celebrate 21 Years of Women of Wardrobe in 2024. It was a fun and incredible evening! See photos of the event on Facebook and Just Call Malik’s photo booth gallery.

Event chairs Kylee Gould and Mow Rahman curated an unforgettable night benefitting Dress for Success Houston! Featured designers Tanya Taylor and local jewelry designer LeMel led an intimate conversation with VIP guests about the latest fall trends, and the party went on at PostScript.

Summer Soiree is a celebration of empowering women throughout the year. None of this could happen without the incredible support from Tootsies, vendors, in kind donors and the community like you. Nothing drives as much change in a community as empowering a woman who then changes her world.

“The Summer Soiree was the first event I attended and inspired me to join WOW after meeting so many dedicated, longstanding members and witnessing their unwavering commitment to DFS Houston. Collaborating with the Tootsies team, which graciously hosts this event annually, and the exceptional restaurants, beverage brands, and other generous vendors who contributed to its success has been a privilege. It's been so inspiring to witness this community's enthusiasm to support this organization and work together to support women, ensuring we continue making a meaningful difference in their lives.”
