Breakfast at Tiffany's — for real — will be one of the live auction items at Maui's Growing Dreams fashion show and fund-raiser, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow at the Four Seasons Resort in Wailea.

Tiffany & Co. has donated a breakfast for 10, with mimosas and pastries, inside the Maui store. In addition, the winning bidder will receive a custom Tiffany charm bracelet and can select two additional charms at the breakfast.

Fashions are by popular Maui boutique Serendipity. Entertainers Jerry Eiting and Debra Lynn will emcee the event.

Floral design is always an important visual aspect during Growing Dreams, and this year, international floral designer J. Swanke will present a floral extravaganza themed "Four Seasons of Flowers and Fun."

Growing Dreams is a fundraiser for Maui Youth & Family Services. Tickets are $125. Information: (808) 280-1175 or write to cclarkcom@hawaii.rr.com.

COMMUNITY FASHION BOARD AT CANDY SHOP

The Candy Shop, that Queen Street haven for lovers of DIY fashion lines, has introduced a Community Fashion Board. It's a bulletin board devoted to all things fashion-related.

Having a fashion show or trunk show? Need a model, pattern maker, grader or seamstress? Check out the board on the Candy Shop wall.

ANDY SOUTH GOES SMALL SCREEN

Energetic, organized up-and-coming fashion designer Andrew Southiphong, aka Andy South, is extremely busy creating costumes for Christine Yasunaga's TV show, "Destination: Groove Dance Hawai'i." The show will be hosted by Jordan Segundo and Yasmin Dar.

The project involves dozens of mood-creating costumes for dancers who will be performing everything from tango to hip hop to salsa. Quite a commitment for the 20-year-old designer.
