BELLEVUE, WA — The Bellevue Collection's annual fashion week event raised nearly $100,000 to benefit three local nonprofits this month. What has grown into one of Puget Sound's biggest fashion events over the last two decades has also helped raise more than $1 million by donating proceeds from tickets sold for the highly anticipated event.

This year, fashion took place over the first weekend of October, benefitting Dress for Success, Treehouse and Bellevue Lifespring, raising $94,000, according to the Bellevue Downtown Association. The event featured a 360-degree photo booth to complement this year's theme of appreciating what you see in the mirror.

Those who missed out on the event can still "shop the looks" online and learn more about this year's beneficiaries.
