Organised by Launceston initiative the Chicken Farm Project, the fashion show will be raising money to help the Mafubira Orphanage in Uganda.
Group founder Ann Edwards said the goal was to raise enough money to support the orphanage in building a free-range chicken farm, and local bus run.
If successful, both projects would make the orphanage self sufficient and no longer reliant on donations.
"It made so much more sense to support something to get it to the point that you don't need to support it anymore," Ms Edwards said.

The Chicken Farm Project is a group of about 50 Launceston people who have banded together to help assist the orphanage.
Saturday's show will feature clothes from the private collection of Frances Graham, who has been collecting vintage pieces for the past 20 years.
Tickets are available for $20 or $15 concession at the door or by calling Ann on on 0419 464 904.
It starts at 2pm, followed by afternoon tea, an auction and market stalls.

Being a health reporter to me is about more than just reporting the problems. It's about asking why they are happening in the first place and what needs to change to fix it.
