BYT continued its fashion event week with the Goodwill Fashion Gala last Thursday at the Embassy Of France. Intended as their annual fundraiser the evening featured (in this order): a dinner and cocktail party, a silent auction, a delightfully delightful fashion show (all fashions: from Goodwill, naturally) and then a shopping frenzy in which the clothes from the show were sold to well-dressed women in a make-shift Goodwill retail store in the lobby, while men ate crepes.

Thank you Em, and Goodwill Fashions for having us.
A great party and a great cause.

Photos tell enough of a story, but as expected with things like this you can find more coverage of the event WHEREVER you look online because everyone from Righteous Re-Style to The president wears Prada to AntiDC to Listopad girls was there. Morgan as always, was best dressed.

Plus-a LOT of opinions at The Post.
Proceed with caution.

No.

I actually worked a summer at a Goodwill in the back. It was so depressing how they TOSSED all the vintage/cool clothes. Everything supposedly had to fit in with the mainstream styles of the day. I managed to snag a few items for my girlfriend, but man, 90% of the cool stuff ended up in those bulk shipments to third world countries...

Nice article. Ancient Indian jewelry trend is back and it mainly consists of kundan polki sets. Few days back I purchased one such set from the site www.kaneesha.com and it's so magnificent. They have an extensive range of sets from traditional designs to the latest trend.
