Fashion Meets Art Features Supermodel & Entrepreneur Christie Brinkley

Posted March 7, 2025

A sold-out crowd of 400 gathered at the Vero Beach Museum of Art on Wednesday, February 19, to attend the eighth annual Fashion Meets Art fundraiser with headliner Christie Brinkley, one of the world’s most iconic supermodels.

For the main event, Tiffany Corr served as moderator for a casual conversation with Ms. Brinkley, illuminating her enduring career as a model, entrepreneur, and actress. Cocktails and hor d’oeuvres followed in the Laura and Bill Buck Atrium.

Ms. Brinkley has graced the covers of hundreds of magazines, including multiple issues of Vogue, Life, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan; three consecutive covers of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue; and as a brand ambassador for CoverGirl for over 25 years.

Her career includes memorable film and television appearances, including as Chevy Chase’s dream girl in National Lampoon’s Vacation and as the subject of Billy Joel’s music video for the chart-topping hit “Uptown Girl.” Ms. Brinkley made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago and performed in its national tour and on London’s West End. She had a talk show on CNN and recurring roles on NBC’s Parks and Recreation and ABC’s The Goldbergs.

In 2020, Ms. Brinkley launched a successful organic prosecco and zero-sugar brand, Bellissima, and recently introduced her line of apparel, TWRHLL.

At a pre-event VIP champagne reception exclusively for Fashion Meets Art sponsors, Ms. Brinkley presided over a fashion show featuring over a dozen looks from her Hamptons-inspired TWRHLL clothing collection.

Proceeds from Fashion Meets Art benefit the educational programs at the Vero Beach Museum of Art. The Event Committee was led by Event Chair Gregory Ness-Vasko.

Fashion Meets Art 2025 was made possible by Presenting Sponsor Windsor; Supporting Sponsors 19/19 Investment Counsel and Dana Hutton; and Premier Sponsors Ruth Ann Gillis McGuinnis and Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery.
