Oh what a night!
Thank you to all who helped us celebrate the evening of House of DSM’s Fashion Show of Support to fight s*x-trafficking for Dorothy’s House🙏.

Thank you Iowa Live with Jackie Schmillen.
Be sure to get your tickets & join us this Sat. May 11th for House of DSM’s Fashion Show of Support to Fight S*x-Trafficking for Dorothy’s House.

Celebrating our 2nd annual event with a music filled venue featuring Iowa's top models who will walk the runway wearing our Spring/Summer's finest fashion from Des Moines' top retailers for a show that will be sure to entertain & move you. Throughout the evenings, vignettes of Dance Vision dancers up the level of entertainment, while we enlighten our community raising awareness for s*x-trafficking & funds for Dorothy’s House.

S*x trafficking happens in many forms, the common misconception is they are runaways being held against their will. While this is one scenario, there is a large growing trend of high school girls (& boys) who are being sold after school, on the weekends, who still go home & sleep in their beds at night. This happens by fraud, threats, intimidation & coercion. In many cases, younger men pose as caring "boyfriends", after winning over affection, proposals of s*xual favors/servicing of others in exchange for currency occur. After compliance, leverage & domination of power transpires. Others have obtained a photo of a girl (usually from online activity posing as a peer), then blackmail is used as they say "they'll show the school/soc.media/their parents”, if they don't do this favor "just once" (sadly, it's never just once). It's become one of the fastest growing trends of making money, as drugs can only be sold once, yet a girl can be sold over & over. To be clear, s*xpolitation is a form of s*x-trafficking, it takes on many different faces, happens to youth of every age, every demographic & style of home.

Dorothy’s House is safe place for teen victims of s*x trafficking & s*xploitation to recover.
All proceeds go to Dorothy's House.

Special thanks to our models: Alison Whitaker, Christiana Shannon & Lexie Tapper.

You could feel the love in the room...so many people who truly care about each other, and about our cause...much gratitude to all!
It was a sold-out show with our music filled venue of gorgeous models walking the runway wearing the most beautiful Spring/Summer fashion our city has to offer, while vignettes of dazzingly skilled dancers upped the level of entertainment, people were observed to be dancing in their seats;) Special thanks to Brittany, our special guest speaker & s*x-trafficked survivor who was equally touched by all the love she was received, as we honored "her" (and all the other victims who are still silenced). She bravely told her story, and we are forever changed...

To Kellie Markey, of Dorothy's House who deserved the honors of the night, for her fearless fight against s*x-trafficking and the recovery homes she has founded. They have helped many girls & this is just the beginning....Her dedication & heart is remarkable as she spends her days on Capital Hill, helping to write news laws & legislation to help teen victims of this crime.

Style, what does it mean to you? House of DSM Fashion Show & Charity Event. Please join us to help fight sex trafficking for Dorothy's House on Sat. Feb 24th 2018, at Wakonda Club. The night will be filled with joy as our models grace the runway highlighting Des Moines’ finest apparel boutiques, retailers & emerging designers. We’ll have a special VIP gala room for our party, silent auction & many more details to come! With the best hearts involved, House of DSM is a group of socially conscious & charitable individuals whose spirit of generosity & compassion will help make significant changes in our community to help fight sex-trafficking. The revelance of this night will not only benefit Dorothy’s House, yet on a much grander scale, it will help allow other recovery homes to be opened across the country using the business model developed by Kellie Markey, founder of Dorothy’s House. So the importance is far-reaching & vital for the cause. As the US Dept of Justice states “there are fewer than 100 beds in the US for these victims” yet it is one of the oldest industries in the world. This is unacceptable & explains why it’s “OUR time” to be the first generation of people who demand & creates change here, and now. Gratitude that we are fortunate to enjoy this wonderful event, while we spotlight this inhumanity for others 🙏. To be a sponsor please contact: [email protected]. A very special thanks to our spokeswoman Carly Babington, and to Provision Media for their beautiful spot. Also thanks to Sabetha Mumm of Dance Vision & The Peak Agency & to ALL involved! #houseofdsm #IowaFashion Fighting #sextrafficking #endhumantrafficking #desmoines #humansextrafficking #fightagainsthumansextrafficking @dorothyshouse1 @lucasreiman1 @julieshaydesigns @wakondaclub Tickets for VIP, and general admission will go on sale January, so stay tuned!
