Dear Ms Robert,
My name is Lilly Chow and, as the Chairperson of the Saint Laurent College Fashion Show organizing Committee, I am absolutely delighted to request your valuable participation as a judge for our next show.
As a prominent designer and business-owner, you will be aware of our annual event which is sponsored by a renowned Canadian fashion retail chain and raises money for charities. Last year our Show raised $10,000 for Fashion Helps which is a charity that assists the families of the terminally-ill. We were thrilled to be able to participate in the subsequent television coverage and media releases which raised awareness not only of this worthwhile charity, but also of the organizers of and contributors to the Show, which is a becoming an increasingly-anticipated event in the Montreal fashion scene. The major sponsor also provides internships for winners of the College’s graduating class.
In the past, our annual Show has included well-known fashion designers, editors and stylists as judges. Last year your counterpart in the sphere of shoe design, Miss Macy Munroe, was one of our honored judges and we were lucky enough to be able to include her latest range of leather boots as part of the Show. As you are aware, her “Starstruck” boot range was a best-seller last winter and we were thrilled to be one of the first events that showcased this successful collection.
On behalf of Saint Laurent College, we would be overjoyed if you would agree to take the position of judge at our event this year, Ms Robert. You would be one of six who we have approached because of their esteemed position in the fashion industry. Our graduating class benefits greatly from the wisdom and knowledge of contributors such as yourself.
As our event is very much focused on compassion and goodwill, we maximize our limited sponsorship by ensuring the Show is funded judiciously. For this reason, we would be able to offer you a small honorarium and full accommodation at the Star Plaza for the duration of the show. In addition, we can provide an opportunity to feature your newest line of footwear in the Show. The increasing media attention and patronage at our Shows means that your designs will receive maximum exposure.
Ms Robert, should you accept the invitation, I would encourage you to contact me at your earliest convenience on the number above to discuss the details of the event.
Kindest regards,
Lilly Chow
