CELEBRITY HOST DEBI MAZAR
This lithe, attractive, raven-haired actress possesses piercing cobalt eyes and a brash attitude that has helped make her an increasingly popular character player in numerous films, several music videos, and on television.
She made her feature film debut in Martin Scorsese’s GOODFELLAS as Ray Liotta’s junkie mistress. As the canny, outspoken Hollywood publicist Shauna in the freewheeling HBO comedy series ENTOURAGE, she has found a regular TV role perfectly suited to her “New Yawk” style.

President’s Letter 2008
The Femmy is the venue for the Intimate Apparel industry to recognize and honor the individuals and companies that inspire and lead us to new levels of achievement! This evening is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Underfashion Club! 50 years of dedicated service is a milestone under any circumstances! In today’s world of global change, the longevity of the UFC is truly a remarkable accomplishment!
As a fundraising event, the Femmy Gala serves a dual purpose: creating an environment for business and social interchange, and generating the monies that enable us to fulfill our mission to “Support education today for a better industry tomorrow.” The Underfashion Club provides financial support to high school and college students through our extensive scholarship and internship programs. Befitting our emphasis on the students who will be the future of the industry, the Femmy Gala is hosting, for the fifth consecutive year, a design contest amongst students from the Fashion Institute of Technology. We thank Calvin Klein Underwear for generously sponsoring this year’s contest.
There are many aspects to organizing the Femmy and raising the substantial funds with which the Underfashion Club provides scholarships, internships and awards to the students who will be the next generation of the IA industry. Though it is the honorees who will deservedly receive the Femmy Awards, we are in fact paying tribute to our entire industry. Ours is a community of caring, and that spirit is exemplified by the dedicated members of the Underfashion Club who contribute their time so willingly!
In the fashion industry, Innovation is intrinsic to our growth and future! Bearing this in mind, the Underfashion Club initiated the Innovation Femmy contest three years ago. Congratulations to Stretchline Holdings, selected as the 2008 Innovation Award winner by the members of the Underfashion Club! Congratulations also to the two other finalists in the contest: Fashion Forms and Pink/Victoria’s Secret! 6966 Text (1-24).qxd:47443-Femmy PG 1-24 1/30/08 10:08 AM Page 4
President’s Letter (continued)
Since we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the UFC, I believe it is appropriate and important to acknowledge three ladies who have devoted many years to the industry and the UFC: Roslyn Harte, Norma Reinhardt and the late Sheila Solomon. Norma and Sheila co-chaired the Femmy for more than a decade and became synonymous with the event. Their tireless energy and attention to detail were intrinsic to the success of the Femmy, and it is to their great credit that the Femmy Gala has become an industry tradition! Roslyn has been a major force within the UFC for the last 30 years. Her dedication and energy are legendary and an inspiration to all of us on the Board! These wonderful women have been instrumental in the success of the Underfashion Club! Thank you, Norma, Roz and Sheila!
I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to all of the Femmy Honorees, and a personal thank you to the Officers and Directors of the Underfashion Club and to all of the members who have greatly contributed to this evening's success!

The Underfashion Club, Inc. has just concluded another successful year of providing scholarships and internships for students interested in pursuing careers in Intimate Apparel. The Club works with industry leaders to develop and strengthen ties with both the Fashion Institute of Technology and the High School of Fashion Industries. Students from these Institutions have been the primary beneficiaries of the Club's considerable financial support of "education today for a better industry tomorrow."
The Underfashion Club is dedicated to the belief that the future depends on attracting and educating young people to the opportunities in our industry. As a means to this end, our scholarships provide substantial monetary support to students who pursue college-level, intimate apparel- related courses. Our internship program provides college students with the opportunity of working as interns for intimate apparel manufacturers, suppliers and retailers while continuing their education. As a result of this program, several graduates have entered our industry. It is our expectation that companies will hire more students based on the success of the current endeavor.
The Femmy Gala is the fundraising vehicle, which enables the Underfashion Club to support its extensive Scholarship, Awards, and Internship programs. The Club has also been fortunate in attracting corporate sponsors for scholarships. Last year, FIT students benefited from the largess of companies such as Wacoal International Corp., Fashion Forms, Inc., Regina Miracle International, Invista and Century 21 Associates Foundation Inc. We are especially grateful to Calvin Klein Underwear for underwriting this year’s Femmy student design contest.
If you or your company would be interested in sponsoring a paid intern or additional scholarship opportunities, we would be most pleased to hear from you.
