DIFFA Dallas Wreath Collection 2025: Après-Ski

 

This signature event marks the official kickoff to the Dallas holiday season, where designers from across the country reimagine the classic wreath for DIFFA’s unforgettable auction - our Wreath Collection 2025 on Thursday, December 4 from 6pm-9pm.

This year, the spirit of après-ski takes center stage.

Step into a transformed space inspired by vintage alpine retreats — warm woods, candlelight, faux-fur throws, and the inviting glow of fireplaces set the tone for an evening that blends mountain lodge comfort with high-style sophistication. Retro ski details and a touch of playful nostalgia evoke the golden era of alpine escapes.

Dress the part or simply embrace the vibe: after a day on the slopes, it’s all about statement sweaters, vintage vests, and cozy textures. Sip specialty winter cocktails, gather with friends, and take in a stunning collection of designer wreaths as imaginative and daring as any chic chalet soirée.

Here, the tradition of holiday giving goes off-piste — creativity shines, generosity flows as freely as the cocktails, and every bid on our custom wreaths supports DIFFA Dallas and our mission to combat HIV/AIDS and related challenges in our community.

In the 22nd year of their premier fundraiser, DIFFA/Dallas celebrates their fashion-forward heritage with a gala unlike any other. This year’s event, titled SMOKING HAUTE, will once again be at the top of the city’s not-to-be-missed soirees. Taking place on Saturday, March 31st at The Hilton Anatole, the night promises to be filled with the hottest fashions and attendees. 

The grand-scale event, inspired by YSL’s 1966 creation- Le Smoking, will provide a luxurious experience with an exciting mix of runway show, theatrical production and an auction featuring one-of-a-kind couture tuxedo-style smoking jackets for men and women created by top name designers.  Design and production aficionados Jan Strimple and Brian Brothers serve as the co-creative directors/producers of the DIFFA/Dallas extravaganza, and will be dazzling guests as they enjoy a seated dinner while feasting their eyes on a provocative runway show featuring this year’s exclusive smoking jacket collection.  The fundraiser’s grand finale will be a “backstage” VIP after party complete with DJ Wade Hampton, resident DJ at the Ghostbar.

DIFFA/Dallas plays a major part in this HIV/AIDS funding initiative, and is the Foundation’s largest and most successful chapter in the country.  Event and ticket information can be found at http://www.diffadallas.org/ as well as on www.Facebook.com/DIFFADallasTX
