Variety SHINE Fashion Show

The 11th Annual Variety SHINE Fashion Show returns on Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 2:00 pm at Somerset Collection South (2800 West Big Beaver, Troy MI). 

This special afternoon raises awareness and funds to support the therapeutic programming at FAR and the Variety 4-H Horseback Riding Program. 

This beautiful fashion show, featuring the children of Variety and friends from FAR Therapeutic Arts & Recreation, captures the hearts of all in attendance as models rock the runway in the latest back-to-school fashions from Somerset Collection retailers.  The models are accompanied by community mentors whose dedication to these programs is simply astounding.
