EMERALD GALA - GreenHill

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, alumni, and community members from five North Carolina universities: Duke, N.C. State, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Greensboro, and Wake Forest. 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.
