Meet The Doggies!

Every day should end like this! Some of the Doggies on the Catwalk people models (and supporters) recently got the opportunity to visit and tour the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption, APRA. We made sure to handle "business" at the beginning of the gathering because (we) knew once the 'doggies' came out that would be it! And it was... everyone turned to mush loving on them puppies! Hopefully, all these doggies will be adopted by the time Doggies on the Catwalk happens on June 13th at Buckhead Atlanta. Make sure and visit the Doggies on the Catwalk web pages and purchase your tickets!

Kerry Washington wore a knit separate look from New York based designer Timo Weiland Fall-Winter 2015 collection to attend the Scandal "ATAS" event at the Director's Guild of America on May 1st 2015. Kerry was joined by her Scandal cast members, and a number of other Hollywood A-Listers.

Timo Weiland: The Brand

The team's first men's and women's ready-to-wear collection debuted for Spring-Summer 2010. The collection firmly established their romantic, yet modern edge to dandy downtown dressing. Based in and inspired by New York City, the Timo Weiland collection reflects Timo, Alan, and Donna's personal aesthetic sensibilities and a broader desire to spur a return to the art of dressing.

Timo Weiland works with established luxury retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney's, and key independents like Intermix, Shopbop, and Atrium New York. Celebrities the likes of Taylor Swift, Tina Fey, Sophia Bush, and Pharrell are supporters of Timo Weiland, and are often seeing wearing their designs on the red carpet.

The designers won the Ecco Domani Fashion Fund award in January 2014. The designers were recognized for their smart, innovative Men's design, and unique attention to detail. "The Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation is one of the first and one of the most coveted emerging designer awards programs in the fashion industry," said Marylou Luther, Editor of The International Fashion Syndicate and a judge for the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation. "This year's winners represent an exciting blend of backgrounds, influences and approaches that highlight the promise of today's young designers and complement an already impressive list of winners. The words Ecco Domani are the perfect metaphor for what these awards represent to the American fashion industry literally and figuratively—here's tomorrow!"

The brand was also nominated and one of the finalists for the International Woolmark Prize in 2013 and 2014 both. The brand was also part of the CFDA Incubator for 2012 and 2013 years.

Atlanta’s Most Fashionable Fête Moves to Phipps Plaza for an Unforgettable Evening Featuring a Cocktail Reception, Fashion Show, Silent and Live Auctions, and More...

Over the past 22 years, Jeffrey Fashion Cares has grown into one of the largest combined AIDS and breast cancer benefits in the country.  Featuring a pre-show cocktail reception, silent and live auction, and runway show, this year takes Atlanta’s most fashionable affair to the recently renovated Phipps Plaza on Monday, August 31, 2015. Always aiming to impress, guests will slip into a completely transformed and private environment in the Monarch Court as Jeffrey Fashion Cares once again embarks on its mission to raise as much awareness and funds as possible for its beneficiaries, Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta and the Atlanta AIDS Fund (AAF).

“We are thrilled to be creating a modern vision venue at Phipps Plaza and are sure that the transformation will add to the excitement!” says Jeffrey Kalinsky, acclaimed retailer and Jeffrey Fashion Cares founder. 

“We are honored to serve as host to this year’s Jeffrey Fashion Cares event,” adds Phipps Plaza Mall Manager Dewayne Herbert.  “This year marks a significant milestone for Jeffrey as the brand celebrates its 25th anniversary at Phipps Plaza, and we’re delighted to toast to this accomplishment.  The property recently completed a series of interior enhancements, and the transformed environment of the mall sets the perfect stage for a spectacular evening.” 

The official kick-off to the fall social season, Jeffrey Fashion Cares was founded by Jeffrey Kalinsky, arbiter of style and creator of two namesake boutiques in Atlanta and Manhattan.  This year, Kalinsky will once again join Event Chairs Lila Hertz, Jeffrey McQuithy and Louise Sams in producing what promises to be one of the most exciting events to date.  Attendees are invited to enjoy a pre-show cocktail reception and silent auction followed by a live auction and runway show featuring Kalinsky’s style selections from high-end designers such as Lanvin, Celine, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino, Dries van Noten, Saint Laurent Paris, Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik. Last year’s sold-out event raised $700,000 for Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta and the Atlanta AIDS Fund (AAF), and in its history, Jeffrey Fashion Cares has grown into one of the largest combined AIDS and breast cancer benefits in the country.
