GirlUp GVL and Marleylilly Fashion Show


Marleylilly is honored to partner with a local organization right here in the Upstate, GirlUp GVL.  Each day at GirlUp GVL, girls are connecting, growing, learning, and flourishing with their peers and mentors who share a passion for their happiness, success, and dignity. GirlUp GVL provides an after-school program, a weekly enrichment program, as well as Individual Success Planning, focused on each girl's personal goals and future success.  This blog post will recap the amazing week that was fashion week! Make sure to read all the way to the end for our wonderful co-sponsor list and video link to the actual show!

 Marleylilly and GirlUp GVL girls spent 3 days together April 19th-21st.  During that time the girls attended a career day at Marleylilly, collaborated with ML stylists, and strutted down a live fashion show!
