The Art of Fashion and Philanthropy

Philanthropy with Purpose

While fashion remains Linda Rowe Thomas’s first love, her heart beats for philanthropy. As an active member of the Junior League of Little Rock, the Fine Arts Club, a dedicated Burn Survivor Mentor, and the Executive Director of Designing Hope Foundation, Linda has become a respected community leader devoted to empowering and uplifting others.

​Her couture designs have graced runways nationwide, often in support of meaningful causes that inspire change and hope. Recognized across the country for both her humanitarian service and design excellence, Linda continues to use her platform to make a difference.

​

“The greatest gift is giving. When we are placed in positions to mentor, lead, or inspire, it’s our responsibility to reach back and lift others. One of the most rewarding parts of my life is being a mother and using my love of fashion to empower someone else. Whether it’s encouraging our youth or supporting causes close to my heart — from heart disease and autism to ALS and cancer — I’m proud to give back and stand with so many incredible organizations.”
— Linda Rowe Thomas
