Fashion and style come together for a fierce and fabulous evening tomorrow, June 26, 2008, but you'll need to have the right connections to have the chance to be dismissed as a "mess" of some kind.
In a private, invitation-only event Bravo’s Project Runway 4 winner Christian Siriano will host the "Tastemaker Cocktails" event benefiting Gay City Health Project, a multicultural gay men's health organization dedicated to preventing HIV transmission by building community, fostering communication, and nurturing self-esteem.
So if you have an in at Gay City, use your connections if you'd like to meet Christian. (Of course, one must be brave to do so, since he seems to be awfully quick to judge and one wouldn't want to be dismissed as a "**** mess" [using whatever adjective is now the thing for that descriptor].)
The fundraising event is sponsored by Basil Hayden’s Bourbon and Out Magazine Celebrate Style.
Guests will enjoy designer Basil Hayden cocktails "crafted to showcase the spirit’s fashion-forward attitude." A flawlessly designed fashion accessory inspired by the distinctive packaging of Basil Hayden and designed by the fierce-minded Siriano will be up for auction.
In addition to proceeds raised from the auction, Basil Hayden and Siriano will donate $1,000 to the Gay City Health Project cause. The affair is the finale of the Basil Hayden “Tastemaker” series, a six-event tour in Seattle that has raised $15,000 for worthy charities nationwide.
Christian Siriano, became the youngest winner in series history when he made it work up till the very end during Project Runway 4.
Siriano caters to today’s top celebrities, designing intricate fashions for style icons Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum and rapper Eve. He has appeared on various TV shows including “Ugly Betty” and debuted his collection at New York City’s 2008 Spring Fashion Week.
