LIVE Fashion X Art Auction with Khamsone Design Studio to raise money for The Garment League
Thank you for joining the ReFashioned Art LIVE Happy Hour Art Tour X at my home! This week's art tour was extra special because I partnered with another Phoenix based designer Khamsone Design Studio for the third FASHION X ART AUCTION COLLAB. This week’s LIVE focused on the fashion and our purpose in doing this- to raise awareness and support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
If you can’t catch us LIVE on Instagram @iamlauramadden, please check out my YouTube channel and my Instagram for the replays.
This week 100% of the proceeds are going to Phoenix, AZ nonprofit The Garment League founded by stylist/ designer Tricee Thomas. The Garment League provides scholarships and support for fashion + art students.
The auction closes this Monday, 7/13, 5pm PST. The current bid on this custom handmade dress is $150 (retails $575). (If you’d like to place a bid, please DM bids to the designer on Instagram @Khamsonee)
As promised, I showed up with cocktail in hand, wearing a cocktail dress. This week I wore a custom garment by Khamsone, which is being auctioned off. The cocktail of the night was sparkling rosé (the designer’s favorite). This French country-inspired dress is the epitome of transformative fashion (and sustainable). Well made clothes feel really good! And there is nothing like the feel of a custom, made for you garment (like this one will be for you).
Details on this FASHION X ART auction:
•The dress is fully customizable to the buyer- longer, shorter, sleeves, straps, sizing, etc. & can be completed either in person or virtually.
•The winner of this dress receives LIFETIME guarantee alterations & repairs on this dress.
•Made of 100% Cotton deadstock fabric, lined with 100% Cotton Muslin
•Pockets included in every garment
•Dress comes with a custom matching mask 😷
• Current bid $150 (retails $575).
I hope you will join me in supporting this local, small business, as well as a local, black-owned nonprofit. Your support of black-owned businesses and organizations is another vital way to show your support for the black lives matter movement.
Ten pieces of ReFashioned Art are currently being auctioned off as well. I will match & donate 100% of the sale of each piece. Four have sold, with money donated to Black Girls Code, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Reform Alliance, and The Garment League.
I am using my art as a means to not only raise money for the movement but to raise greater awareness of the importance of racial equality and to bring people together the best I can. I will match and donate 100% of the sale of each piece, with proceeds going to a racial equality foundation or fund of the buyer's choice.
