Fashion for #ReliefPH : Clothing Sale to Help the Philippines Rebuild

We all want to help the Filipino people. BUT you're not sure what you can do to help. You don't know if what you can offer can make a difference.

There are so many people organizing events (bless their kind hearts). So HERE's a FUN event... that I believe you can have fun and make a BIG difference:

Fashion For Relief: Clothing Sale to Help the Philippines Rebuild

Harnessing the power of fashion to outfit relief efforts after Typhoon Haiyan. A benefit sponsored by Filipino American Legal Defense and Education Fund (FALDEF) and the Philippine Consulate General of NY.

What? Spearheaded by young New York women born in the Philippines, this curated clothing sale will raise funds to directly benefit survivors of the typhoon in the Philippines. They are collecting goods from retailers and fashionable New Yorkers, and pooling everything in one sale event at the Philippine Consulate General, New Yorke. Expect styles from Diane von Furstenberg and other style icons, refreshments, DJ sets, and more!

Why? Stilettos and fur coats won’t help typhoon survivors in the Philippines, but the funds raised from selling fashionable goods will go a long way in purchasing desperately needed supplies. Whether you donate, buy, or both, rest assured that every dollar raised will go directly to relief efforts.

Where and when? Donations accepted at FALDEF, 4 W 43rd Street, New York, NY, from Nov. 15-Nov. 22 noon-5pm. Sale event will be held at the Philippine Consulate General, 556 5th Ave, New York, NY 10036 on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013 from 11am-4:30pm.
