Nov. 13th, 2014, the 7th Annual Leonard Simpson's Best Dressed was a flurry of fashion amidst the fashionable and the philanthropic.

Held at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, the theme 'A Moment in Time' was captivating from start to finish replete with Steampunk (love that Christopher Canole), modern and 'Gaga-esque' moments in the fashion show.

That's the fashion show that Leonard Simpson / Fashion Forward® flawlessly produced.

This year's event benefitted Dress for Success San Diego, a great group that empowers disadvantaged women to self sufficiency. The non-profit has served nearly 9,000 local women since 1998.

Among the midst were celebrity actress Vanessa Williams from the television series Soul Food and the movie New Jack City, she received the 2014 Best Actress and Style award.

Also in attendance was Mary Murphy the talented dancer and choreographer who is also a judge on So You Think You Can Dance.

Among those honored were: Raymond Dale, Jonathon Collopy, Roberto De Gregorio, Dave Carothers, George Gould, Brent Wilsey, Patrick Kruer, Paul Chasan, Matthew Shillingburg, Bibbi Herrmann Conner, Carmela Koenig, Laurie Black, Sally B. Thornton, Hélène Gould, Mina Kooklani, Lola Green, Jo Ann Kilty, Darcy Delano Smith, Kathleen Connor, and Shelley Zimmerman.
