House of Couture

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

In fashion there are movers and shakers from all sorts of realms. You have designers that have struggled to get to where they are, artists that have had to overcome some major obstacles and influencers fighting to be heard. Very rarely do you come across fashion addicted individuals that want something more than fashion, more than just garments worn on their bodies. Fashionista and philanthropist, Joy Bianchi, can often be found dressed to the nines at galas and events throughout the San Fransisco area but her admiration for fashion and style is not a mere superficial endeavor. Bianchi is directly connected in her desire to help people.

Joy Venturini Bianchi runs Helpers House Of Couture, there you will find an impeccable collection of designer gowns, accessories and fashions. Only a closet that any fashion girl could ever dream of, with every covetable designer available! Bianchi began her charitable life as a child, fourteen to be exact. ever since then, she has devoted her life to giving back to the community. "Clothes are just a vehicle to make a connection with another human being through joy or suffering. I believe in human connection; I believe that's the only important thing about life," Helpers of House of Couture proceeds go directly to help build customized wheelchairs, train care givers and fund opportunities for nonprofits that give grants to help groups assisting the mentally disabled. With that kind of repertoire, who wouldn't want to browse the racks full of Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Yves Saint Laurant to help those in need!?

Spreading her love of life, Joy Bianchi is beyond a trendsetting fashionista, she's a woman about town trying to make the world a better place for the people who need our help the most! Dear readers, I'd love to know what you think of Bianchi's work.
