Consciously Social Events presented the first annual 2006 Jeans For Justice Fashion Show and Auction benefiting the San Diego Center for Children in an effort to unite the San Diego community in a stylish, high-energy benefit honoring Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Jeans for Justice took place April 27, 2006 at Stingaree in the downtown San Diego Gaslamp District. Artists and designers from around San Diego and Los Angeles were given a pair of Chip and Pepper jeans in the weeks preceding the show to innovate and produce a unique piece of wearable art. These one-of-a-kind creations were modeled in a high-energy runway show the night of the event. Selected pairs of the jeans were auctioned live on stage after the show, and the rest will be modeled during the remainder of the night in an interactive silent auction.
Participating designers and artists included Ginger Che, Andy Howell, Laura Gambucci, Ginga Placek, Carla Manuel of Kites Design, Patricia Frischer of San Diego Visual Arts Network, Jamie Roxx, Carly Strass from Seven for all Mankind, Fortune Industries, and Maxine Orange.
This memorable night also included a VIP party for sponsors, media, and community partners starting at 6:30 p.m. After the visually stimulating runway show, hosted by KUSI's Leonard Simpson & Aimee Fuller, guests were invited to Stingaree's rooftop deck to view a screening from the San Diego Women's Film Festival and shop among the collections of participating designers and artists.
The mission of the San Diego Center for Children's Clark Adolescent Program is to promote the well-being of children, youth, families, and communities by providing an array of effective mental health, educational and social services. Through the Clark Center, at-risk youth and their families find a safe and therapeutic environment to escape from violent home situations and deal with the emotional affects of both sexual and physical abuse.
