This event benefits the local nonprofit Dreams Reimagined Inc, an organization dedicated to helping survivors of domestic violence rebuild their lives through clothing and essential home donations. Revive the Runway is more than a fashion show &mdash; it&rsquo;s a celebration of renewal, resilience, and creative expression. Join us as we revive materials, reimagine fashion, and honor California through community-driven design.
