Fashion with Purpose: How World Woman Club’s Fashion Show Idea Was Born 11 years ago: 2013-2024

The International Club of Successful Women WORLD WOMAN CLUB (www.world-woman.com) 11 years ago came up with a FASHION PROJECT “WOMEN FOR CHILDREN” to do charitable deeds beautifully and set an example for society.

Fashion with Purpose: How World Woman Club’s Fashion Show Idea Was Born

The World Woman Club’s fashion show isn’t just an ordinary event—it’s an initiative born from a vision to create meaningful connections and make a positive impact across multiple levels. It all began with a simple idea: what if fashion could not only be beautiful but also serve as a force for good? Here’s how this idea blossomed into a platform that will uplift Club members, support designers, expand media opportunities, and contribute to charitable causes—all while showcasing the power of women supporting each other in business and philanthropy.

1. A Unique Fashion Experience for Club Members At its heart, the fashion show will provide Club members with the chance to create or purchase new, exquisite dresses designed specifically by talented designers. This exclusive experience allows members to collaborate directly with designers to create unique pieces that reflect their individual styles, while simultaneously supporting the creative industry.

2. Expanding Opportunities for Fashion Designers The show offers designers a prestigious platform to showcase their work to an international audience. For emerging talents, it’s an invaluable opportunity to gain exposure and attract new orders, connecting with clients from around the world who appreciate their artistry. By participating in this event, designers are empowered to grow their businesses and establish a lasting presence on the global stage.

3. A Boost for Media Professionals For media professionals and content creators, the event presents new opportunities for collaboration and visibility. The event’s global appeal means media outlets can create compelling content that resonates worldwide, gaining new audiences and building their brand’s presence in international markets.

4. Fundraising for Charitable Organizations The fashion show goes beyond just showcasing beautiful garments—it’s also an opportunity to give back. A portion of the funds raised from each dress purchase will go to charity, supporting initiatives that align with the World Woman Club’s values. By bringing awareness and funding to these causes, the show helps create a direct, positive impact on society.

5. Supporting Children in Need One of the most inspiring aspects of the fashion show is its commitment to helping children in need. By dedicating a portion of the proceeds to organizations that support disadvantaged children, the event not only provides immediate assistance but also raises awareness about the importance of supporting the younger generation.

6. Demonstrating the Power of Women-Driven Initiatives Ultimately, the show is a powerful example of how women can unite to uplift each other’s businesses, build community, and create societal change. The event itself is a testament to the power of female-driven philanthropy and collaboration, reinforcing how women can use their influence and resources to benefit not only their immediate circle but also the world around them.

How Wonderfully Feminine! The World Woman Club’s fashion show isn’t just an event; it’s a movement that embodies how women can inspire, uplift, and drive positive change on all levels. By turning a celebration of fashion into a meaningful experience, the Club is setting an example of what women can accomplish together—for themselves, for each other, and for the world

Five great women: Olga Azarova (Founder & President of the WORLD WOMAN CLU, Larisa Lobanova (world-known Fashion Designer), Svitlana Gerey (WWC Co-Founder, Mediaholding 100% Director), Viktoria Chindatskaya, and Aurika Vranchanu invented this idea. The initiative of the International Club of Successful Women was taken up by women from the UK, Ukraine, Germany, France, USA, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, and Turkmenistan.

Concept: Leading by example to popularize philanthropy, uniting women’s initiatives across five key areas — design, media, business, social impact, and club community.



In 2013, a unique charity fashion project called "WOMEN FOR CHILDREN" was launched, aimed at bringing women together to make a meaningful impact through five key areas of collaboration. This initiative combines fashion, leadership, and philanthropy to create a powerful movement that supports those in need while elevating designers and businesswomen.
