Jeffrey Fashion Cares is the biggest fashion event of the year in Atlanta.
The 24th annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares is founded by acclaimed retailer and style icon, Jeffrey Kalinsky. This year’s event is co-chaired by Lila Hertz, Jeffrey McQuithy and Louise Sams.
Jeffrey Fashion Cares 2016 will be held on Monday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at Phipps Plaza. It’s incredible to see Buckhead’s premier shopping destination transformed with an incredible runway. The evening will begin with a pre-show cocktail reception where guests can mix and mingle, followed by a silent and live auction, then the most dazzling fashion show in the South. Designers to be featured for this year’s event include Lanvin, Celine, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Gucci, Valentino, Dries van Noten, Saint Laurent Paris, Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik.
Fashion Cares is true to its name, as this glamorous evening is all for the benefit of Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta and the Atlanta AIDS Fund (AAF). It’s one of the largest combined AIDS and breast cancer benefits in the country. Last year’s sold-out event raised $700,000!
