Jeffrey Fashion Cares Annual Gala

Lucky for the Snobettes, we were able to attend retail genius Jeffrey Kalinsky’s super fun, Jeffrey Fashion Cares benefit gala, held on the Intrepid (an ex-aircraft carrier that functions as a museum) on New York’s Hudson River last night. The event included silent auctions on hundreds of donated items, as well as a fashion show, and by the end of the evening well over a half million dollars was raised to assist organizations whose focus is outreach to the gay and lesbian community. It was a meticulously staged event and bravo to Kalinsky, who has steered it for eight years. The level of organization and work that goes into it is clearly massive. On this page (yes, that’s a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag) and the page to follow, a glimpse at some of the items included in the auctions.
