| Parker Posey to Host Fashion Fights Poverty Benefit |
|
Parker Posey is lending some star power to the fourth annual Fashion Fights Poverty fund-raiser on September 26, by co-hosting the event with Fox 5 News Anchor Will Thomas. The fashion show, at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, is organized by Style & Image Network and spotlights sweatshop-free, eco-friendly clothing. This year's beneficiary is the nonprofit Nest, which supports women in developing countries.
For the event, American and international designs, including menswear from D.C.-based Eric Finn Custom Clothiers and organic hemp wedding dresses from Toronto’s Adele Wechsler, will hit the runway. An after-party for the 500 expected attendees at Lotus Lounge will follow.
