Celebrated designer Thom Browne will return to the event as Honorary Chair with long-time supporter and friend, Oscar-nominated actress Patricia Clarkson. Model Dree Hemingway and Cat Greenleaf of Talk Stoop also join as Co-Chairs for opening night.
Held at the beautiful Altman Building in Chelsea, guests attending the ticketed Opening Night Reception will experience the perfect blend of style, shopping, and feel-good fundraising as guests enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction. VIP ticket holders will have advanced access to shop from more than $1 million worth of new, high-end apparel and beauty merchandise from hundreds of designers hosted by none other than stylist and casting maven, Natalie Joos. Paper’s own Mr. Mickey Boardman will also lend his style sense to a special collection of looks created especially for the event. A four-day public sale will follow at the Chelsea Thrift Shop November 8-11th.
All proceeds from Fashion for Action will benefit Housing Works lifesaving programs such as job training, medical and legal care, transgender services and counseling for men, women and youth living with or affected by homelessness and HIV/AIDS.
