Art & Fashion Rock Fundraising
The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis knows how to throw a party and raise money doing it.
When writer and St. Louis native, Tania Beasley-Jolly, asked if I’d consider donating a few frocks to the event, I jumped at the chance. We are always looking for ways to give back to communities whether they’re located in Hawaii, Bali or well, St. Louis!
Our hot off the press, Melati dress, which is not currently available in stores or online, will be auctioned off as part of the “Oscar Worthy Los Angeles Art and Style Experience.”
Among a million other items, the experience includes a two-night stay at the Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills and a private shopping experience with vintage couture guru, Cameron Silver, who owns the illustrious Decades Inc. on Melrose Avenue.
The gala’s Honorary Chair “Dream Team” includes fashion insiders Chloe Sevigny, writer Derek Blasberg and Vogue supermodel Karlie Kloss who currently calls St. Louis home.
All proceeds from the event help expand the museum’s educational and outreach programs.
Mahalo, Thank You, Terima Kasih
The Balinese don't keep "gratitude journals" or need to be reminded about the power of positive thinking. Thanks in part to their strong Hindu faith, they live and breathe the practice of being thankful - not just once a week or once a day, but several times throughout the day. Their culture has remained intact despite the popularity of the island and they continue to offer prayer morning, noon and night accompanied by beautiful little offerings; flower petals, burning incense, bits of rice and candy, maybe a coin, all held in a small woven basket.
One of our resolutions this year at Diamond Head Road is to find more ways to give back to the people who make a positive difference. We welcome your requests for product donations that might help the success of your fundraiser or silent auction. Currently, we support several charities throughout Hawaii including Hanahou'oli School, the financial aid program of Punahou School, North Hawaii Hospice, The Outdoor Circle and we recently accepted a new donation inquiry for 2010 from the Lyon Arboretum in Honolulu.
In a fashion sense, we try our best to be respectful about our impact on the earth and her residents. All of our clothing and accessories are produced by Balinese artists whose families have worked with silk for several generations. The boutique factory in which the manufacturing takes place is family run and certified by UNICEF. Our clothing is 100-percent silk; considered a naturally environmentally friendly fiber as it requires no pesticide use.
The island of Bali offers many ways in which residents, visitors and admirers can contribute to help make life better for everyone. There is a fantastic curbside recycling program run by Eco-Bali that residents can sign up to use for as little as $5/month. Or you can make a difference in the life of a local Balinese child by donating to Green School - an innovative (and gorgeous) campus started by John and Cynthia Hardy of the world famous John Hardy jewelry line. Twenty-percent of their students are Balinese children attending on full scholarships.
