Macy's Annual Passport Event - the dazzling A.I.D.S. fundraiser which is one of the highlights of the Fashion scene each year - returns to the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Air Center on Thursday, September 25th.
According to the show producers, Passport (sponsored by Macy's) promises to bring music, mesmerizing multi media, models and theatrics to its infamous 120' runway.
Featured collections will include those by Ben Sherman, INC, Calvin Klein, Alfani Red, and Ed Hardy.
In addition to the GALA EVENING on Thursday, there will be a FASHION INFORM event the next evening.
Acknowledging the devastating effects HIV/AIDS was having on the world and future generations, Macy started up the FASHION INFORM event to educate young adults about prevention and detection.
This unique experience offers guests an evening of fun, food, education, fashion and compassion.Los Angeles High Schools are selected in the early spring of each year tp participate in this inspiring event which is not marketed to the public.
Fashion Inform, HIV Prevention 101 is an evening underwritten by Macy's West.
Finally, it should be noted that in conjunction with these two events, Macy's sponsors Passport In-Store. Through this fundraiser the department store raises much needed funds for A.I.D.S. causes, outreach programs, research, etc.
