Fashion for a Good Cause

The economic downfall may be a humbling experience for many designers. Not everyone can afford the high-end fashion favorites and adjustments have been made.  Even those who have the money have come to the realization that in the current economic disaster, it may be best to save and put money toward savings or other just cause.

Now the fashion industry and even the most upscale designers have had to adapt to the current state of the economy. Designers are donating and putting money toward some great causes, and using social media to advertise at the same time! Take a look at Squeaky Blog’s advertisement for the Dior Diva Auction.

The 2nd Annual Dior Diva Auction allows consumers to bid on great prizes for a great cause. Squeaky Blog is excited to be a part of such a campaign in which all the proceeds go toward “Look Good…Feel Better”, an organization dedicated to helping women with cancer deal with the appearance-related affects and changes from treatment.

Another up and coming designer, Aysha Saeed has exemplified using her design talent for a good cause. I was fortunate enough to host and model for Aysha’s trunk show in New York City, see the invitation below for the details!

Aysha Saeed put a portion of her proceeds, as stated in the invitation, toward Operation Smile, another organization for a good cause, specifically dedicated to funding and helping children with cleft lip and cleft palate.
