Get ready for an unforgettable evening of glamour and creativity! We are thrilled to invite you to GreenHill’s first annual fashion show, The Emerald Gala, hosted at the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, May 5, 2025. This isn't just a fashion show; it's a celebration of the fusion of fashion, art, and athleticism.
The Emerald Gala’s mission is to elevate local artists and designers, providing them with a platform to be seen, celebrated, and supported. Named in honor of our state gemstone, The Emerald Gala will showcase North Carolina fashion designers who will dress elite athletes from six North Carolina universities: Duke, N.C. State, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Greensboro, NC A&T, and Wake Forest, as well as alumni, community members, and local models. Join us on our “green carpet” to view new and exciting designs in both men and women’s fashion. Inspired by the Met Gala, this event is more than just a fashion show—it’s a tribute to the creators, the dreamers, and the rule-breakers shaping the future of design.
Enter our raffle to win a Schiffman's Emerald & Diamond Ring!
The Emerald is an Oval Cut Stone with a beaded 18k yellow gold bezel. Surrounding the Emerald are 10 Full Cut Round Brilliant Diamonds. Each Diamond is prong set in 18k white gold in a beaded scalloped pattern. Retail value is approximately $10,000.
