On November 7, Fashion for Action will bring together 250 brands for an evening to benefit Housing Works’ mission to make a difference for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS. The Opening Night Reception at The Altman Building will mark the return of Thom Browne as Honorary Chair and Co-Chairs Dree Hemingway, Patricia Clarkson and Cat Greenleaf.

There will also be specialty shops by BCBG Max Azaria, Brooks Brothers and a Chanel vintage jewelry trunk show of curated pieces. All proceeds from Fashion for Action will benefit Housing Works lifesaving programs such as job training, medical and legal care, transgender services and counseling for men, women and youth living with or affected by homelessness and HIV/AIDS.
