was raised in style last month.

The Vida-Moda society raised $10,700 through a fashion show at the Southampton Princess.

It will go towards buying a $15,000 Ross Turner watercolour of the Southlands estate in Warwick.

And on Tuesday Vida-Moda members handed over the cheque to the Masterworks Foundation's Mr. Tom Butterfield.

Vida-Moda chairperson Mrs. Sanya Correia, the Portuguese Consul's wife, appealed for people to help pay for the remaining $4,300 for the painting.

"We are hoping some people will help out,'' she said.

Mrs. Correia added the painting -- owned by an American -- was currently on loan to Masterworks.
