Join Us for Fashion Week San Diego

Fashion Week San Diego, which will be held September 28 through October 5, 2008, will be the world’s only bi-national fashion week and will celebrate young designers from Southern California and Mexico.  This first time, week-long fashion marathon,  will be held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina and will benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation.
            According to Allison Andrews, the young visionary who is the force behind this ground-breaking event, “This in-depth look at Southern California’s fashion industry is absolutely unprecedented….a seamless display of a fashion culture that knows no borders will mesmerize San Diego this fall.”
  Andrews not only has a head for business and an eye for fashion, she clearly has a heart for children:  She said  “I chose the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation as the beneficiary of Fashion Week 2008, because I want to demonstrate how fashion can produce positive social change and enhance the life of future generations.  I feel very strongly about the work this organization does to create a healthy environment in which children can thrive.  In my mind, there is simply no excuse for children not to be cared for properly; without a strong and healthy youth, we have nothing “

The week will consist of daily fashion shows, forums, lectures, shopping events and official after parties.  Fashion Week San Diego will culminate in a Trunk Show and Shopping Experience on Sunday, October 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.     Tickets sold for the Sunday event are $15.00 ; $5.00 of which will directly benefit CAPF.    For more information about the line-up of designers, the events or to purchase tickets for all or part of  Fashion Week go to www.fashionweeksd.com  .  For more information  about the work of the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation call 858-278-4400.
