Haus of Hollie SPCA Fashion Show

Hollie Gondera’s online boutique, Haus of Hollie, brings California Style and New York Trends to busy women everywhere.  

“I t started with an idea,” said the Florida Real Estate Agent. “I’m very busy I hate going to the mall and looking through racks.”

“I thought it would be great to not have to look through racks. I was sure other business women and stay at home moms felt the same way I do.  It would be great to have one spot to shop for their clothing and have it shipped straight to their door.”

Hollie said she has always had a relationship with the fashion industry as a makeup artist. Her smoky eyes glistened with midnight-blue and silver pigments with pride, when speaking about the growing popularity of her new boutique.

Haus of Hollie, has only been open since May of this year. These days Hollie isn’t only looking to support her business’ success, but others as well. She decided after only being open for a short amount of time that she wanted to have a fall fashion show to support a good cause.

Every year Seacoast National Bank hosts an event to support the SPCA of Central Florida (SPCA), according to Seacoast’s event coordinator Jessica Gondera. She felt a partnership with Haus of Hollie would make a strong event to raise money for an organization they both care about.

The fashion show’s goal was to raise at least $2,000 for the SPCA’s Wiggle Waggle Walk later this month. They raised about $1,000 through online ticket sales alone. The event also included a silent auction and raffle prizes.

“We have four anchors at Seacoast, and one of them is to get involved in the community,” Jessica said. “They really push us to get involved and find out whatever is relevant to that market. The SPCA is a huge thing for us in Orlando.”

By the way, did we mention that Jessica and Hollie are sisters? Yeah, we thought it was really cute too! Don’t think this is just a family affair. One of the SPCA ‘s biggest supporters, Monisha Seth, helped out too.

Monisha told us that she is impressed with how the event has grown every year, and that the fashion show with Haus of Holli is probably their biggest yet!
