As we begin a new week, here is an inspiring thought from the Events Team. We really love this sentiment.

Join Val de Vie in the fight against human trafficking by attending a spectacular fashion show and dinner at the estate on 6 August 2011. Celebrities such as Heinz Winckler, Dieter Voight, Jo-anne Strauss and many more have chosen to support this worthy cause, and we invite you to do the same.

The Fashion Show's inspiration comes from a universal theme, dark to light, slavery to liberty. It explores the desire of every person to have a sense of value and safety. The fashion show will definitely be a dramatic showcase of this cause with extravagant touches of elegance. It will also be accompanied by a tantalizing 3 course meal.
