Jeffrey Fashion Cares 2009


Mulberry Eliot Tote



Etro Geometric Pattern Canvas Duffel



Bally Leather Duffel



Ralph Lauren Cooper Travel Bag



Coach Limited Edition Grey Alligator Tote


I was finally able to attend Jeffrey Fashion Cares. What a fabulous event for deserving charities. The cocktail hour was crowded with gorgeous men and women, many of whom work in the fashion industry. The evening culminated in a runway show, featuring some of the hottest male models in the industry, including Sean Opry and Chad White. Front Row sighting: Lorenzo Martone, the husband of Marc Jacobs. I regret not attending sooner and I am committed to attending future events.

Over the past 17 years, Jeffrey Fashion Cares, hosted by Jeffrey Kalinsky, has raised over $8.5 million for the gay communities’ most important charities and non-profit organizations, with 95% of every dollar raised going directly to the beneficiaries.

Many companies donate goods to be featured in a live silent auction. The proceeds of both the ticket sales and the auction benefit Lambda Legal, The Hetrick Martin Institute, Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and The Point Foundation.

Among the companies proudly sponsoring this event were Coach, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, John Varvatos, Bally, Etro, Garrard, Dermalogica, Mulberry, Lambertson Truex, Prada, Tom Ford, Robert Marc, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren and Church's.

These are some of the bags featured in the silent auction. Would anyone like to guess which bag I took home?

I do like that tote very much, but that is not what I bid on.

The Coach tote?

I am going to take a wild guess, and say the Bally Duffle bag.

My first thought was the Coach tote;but since Bagaholicboy called it first?

I'm glad you ended up with the croc tote!

I look forward to seeing more pictures.

There is a hearing on Tuesday April 28th in California, that if passed will make it illegal to sell or trade in Crocodile, and American Alligator in the State of California.
If this law is not amended it will be effective January, 1, 2010.

I hope that enough designers attend the hearing, and lend their support to Senator Dennis Hollingsworth.

I had a dream last night that you purchased Brioni trousers.
The fabric was so exquisite, cashmere and wool; the colour indescribably beautiful.

I said "it looks like Graphite,and would look perfect with my croc Kelly!" lol
