There'll be no shortage of star power at this year's installment of the Jeffrey Fashion Cares Atlanta fashion show. The event, which serves as the city's unofficial starting gun for the fall style season, will have the celebrated bridal wear designer Anne Barge as its new honorary Co-Chair.(Fashion phenom Jason Wu,left)
Even more intriguing, the young New York fashion phenom Jason Wu has been announced as the 2009 special guest designer. Wu, 26, gained international acclaim after designing First Lady Michelle Obama's Inaugural ball gown. (A wispy gown from Wu's Fall '09 collection, below left)
Barge's Atlanta-based bridal empire celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and features three distinct lines: Black Label, Couture and La Fleur. She's best known for wedding dresses that combine classic elegance with trendy flourishes. (An Anne Barge spring/summer '09 look, above)
“Anne Barge is a legend in Atlanta and I am so proud to be associated with her and to honor her,” said Jeffrey Kalinsky, owner of the ultra-exclusive Jeffrey boutique in Manhattan and Atlanta. He launched Fashion Cares 17 years ago and has since helped raise multi-millions of dollars for AIDS and breast cancer charities.(Jeffrey Kalinsky, left)
This year's Fashion Cares Atlanta takes place August 31(7 p.m.-until) at the 55 Allen Plaza downtown. The lavish affair will include a cocktail reception and a full runway show.
