Nassau, Bahamas -
Fashion For A Cause will bring together designers,
clothing stores, stylists, makeup and hairstylists, and all fashion
forward brands for one 'CAUSE', for one night of Fashion. Featuring a new venue - the
Ibiza nightclub, Fashion For A Cause (FFC) will be held on
March 29th with a cocktail hour starting at 3:30pm featuring entertainment by
Canadian Idol runner up Gary Beals.
The street wear focused 2015 spring / summer show will give designers
the opportunity to display a 12 - 15 piece collection and through the ongoing partnership with The Bahamas AIDS Foundation, signature
pieces from previous Red Dress Soiree events will also hit the runway. This year's 130 ft
runway at Ibiza will accommodate 50 models that will viewed by upwards of 300 guests anticipated to attend.
"Attendees can expect a mind blowing visual experience," said FFC founder Kendrick Kemp, a Bahamian model and entrepreneur. "We'll have a
digitally printed runway, an oversized step and repeat area, and a
carefully selected S/S15 'STREET WEAR COLLECTION'."
And it doesn't stop there! Kemp has also announced that this year will feature the launch of THE FASHION PROJECT MAGAZINE, explaining that it gives FASHION FOR A CAUSE (FFC) the opportunity to do three things:
-
Create a platform for any and all fashion forward companies/individuals to advertise their brand while show their support for The Bahamas AIDS Foundation and the efforts of FFC
-
Raise funds for The Bahamas AIDS Foundation and their continuous effort to bring awareness to every Bahamian
-
Fund the production of the Fashion For A Cause event.
In the weeks leading up to the show Kemp and his team will be promoting the importance of safe sex, getting HIV/AIDS tested as well as the invaluable work of The Bahamas AIDS Foundation. They will be working The Sports Center and Club One
Fitness during the month of March hosting "The Know Your Status" Drive, allowing
people to come in while shopping or before a workout, to get tested and be informed.
"We
will be visiting youth organizations, schools and any youth driven out
reach programs to speak about the change and movement we want to
create," said Kemp. "Our team will also work along with
The Bahamas AIDS Foundations after-school program allowing us to
speak with kids who are affected by HIV/AIDS. FFC will be creating
short video clips engaging the wider public as well as members of our
team and affiliates to get their views about HIV/AIDS in regards to our
youth."
