Gen Art is thrilled to announce the designer line-up for its annual New Garde Fashion Show as well as a new partnership with Crest 3D White. The event will be held on Thursday, February 9th.
Cocktails will begin at 5pm followed by a runway show at 6pm hosted by Emmanuelle Chriqui featuring the A/W12 collections from the most promising emerging designers including Gemma Kahng, Samantha Pleet and William Okpo. DJ Harley Viera-Newton will set the soundtrack of the evening followed by an after-show set by Mick Boogie.
This season, Gen Art has also chosen to use fashion as a vehicle for change. This year’s program spotlights the “RAISE Hope for Congo” organization. Shortly after the charity introductions, IMG’s top models will walk the runway presenting exclusive t-shirts and jeans designed by William Okpo to benefit “RAISE Hope For Congo.”
The apparel will be available for purchase alongside William Okpo’s AW12 collection at select retail stores as well as WilliamOkpo.com & GenArt.com with all proceeds going to the RAISE Hope for Congo campaign under the Enough Project at EnoughProject.org.
Crest 3D White is also thrilled to announce they will be live-streaming the fashion show and “white carpet” arrivals to their Facebook page.
