*SAMPLE SALE* Fashion for Action

Housing Works' 8th Annual Fashion for Action fundraiser was brought to my attention and I'm thrilled to share this info with my fellow Mizhattanites. Not only is this an opportunity to grab a $1,450 Dior bag for only $695, but it's a wonderful way to be a part of a great cause.

So, what is Fashion for Action? It is a 4-day charitable designer shopping event that raises funds for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS. There will be a ticketed opening night reception on November 16th where you can enjoy a silent auction along with cocktails & hors d'oeuvres, and shop before the event officially kicks off. The public designer sale event will begin the following day, November 17th, and you will be able to shop many coveted labels like Burberry, Carolina Herrera, Chloé, Christian Dior, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Givenchy, Jimmy Choo, Longchamp, Marc Jacobs, Marni, Max Mara, Miu Miu, Oscar de la Renta, Stella McCartney, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, and many more at charitable prices.
