Yvonne Crum, creator of the Fresh Faces of Fashion program and her BFF and usual partner-in-crime, Jill Rowlett, held court this past Tuesday at Dee Lincoln's Bubble Bar to the debut of the new crop of beauties who will hold the title for 2012.
So, what the heck does it mean to be a FFF and how are they chosen?
Over the past several months, Modern Luxury magazine has been collecting nominations for the program. One has to be not only stylish on the outside, but be able to serve up a dossier of charitable works and contributions to the community at large.
The 12 women selected to represent the program serve as stylish ambassadors to raise awareness and much needed funds to benefit the North Texas Suicide and Crisis Center. |

These lovely lasses will appear in the March issue of Modern Luxury and walk in a runway show at the 6th annual Fresh Faces of Fashion Gala that will be held on March 23 at Stanley Korshak and be feted at a dinner immediately following at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel.
There is also a fierce competition to see who can sell the most raffle tickets for a chance to win a new Mercedes from Park Place Motorcars! And the competition is not necessarily between the 12 FFF. It's to see which of them can outsell Yvonne Crum! To date, the Fresh Faces of Fashion events have raised over a million dollars for the Suicide and Crisis Center in the past five years. Pretty darn impressive!
