Charity Couture: Red Dress Collection Auctions Off One-of-a-Kind Designs
Filed under: Style for a Cause, Fashion Week
Every year during New York Fashion Week, tastemakers count on the Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection to send a showstopping stream of one-of-a-kind gowns down the runway.
The event brings together the likes of Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen, who create original gowns to benefit The Heart Truth. (The organization that raises awareness about women's heart disease.)
This year, the show is getting an exciting new spin. Now, in partnership with Clothes Off Our Back, some of those previously unattainable dresses will be auctioned off to the public after the show. The proceeds will benefit children's charities.
Look for a sequined Diane von Furstenberg stunner Kelly Ripa wore to last year's event, along with gowns from Carmen Volvo and Donna Karan, among others. The auction starts online on February 6, but if online shopping isn't your thing, you can also witness the real things on display at the Rockefeller Center from Valentine's Day until February 21.
Kenley Collins appeared yesterday on Regis and Kelly, along with the rest of the (then) remaining designers on this season's Project Runway.
