Fashion’s Siren for Change: HUMAN INTONATION
07/22/2009 - By Aperture Gallery

Fashion’s Siren for Change: HUMAN INTONATION

We at HUMAN INTONATION are still ecstatic with last Wednesday’s “Fashion’s Siren for Change: HUMAN INTONATION”.

It was an exciting evening at the Aperture Gallery of fierce fashion, stunning art performances, and philanthropy. From the opening reception where guests had a chance to learn more about the social and human rights issues we support, to the dramatic reveal of our new collection in a ballet inspired fashion show hosted by international recording artist J-Harris, the entire evening was more than we could dreamed of. The fashion show was braced by thought provoking video imagery from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, efforts around HIV prevention, along with clips from “Darfur Diaries: A Message From Home”, and
a heart felt ballet solo from Alvin Ailey student Chloe Abel! Thank you to you all of you for coming out to support this event!

I want to thank everyone who helped to plan “Fashion’s Siren for Change: HUMAN INTONATION” as we debuted our second season with our first line of HUMAN INTONATION long sleeve tees for men & women and dresses using new designs to call attention to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, youth & minority HIV/AIDS prevention, and education for children in Darfur. As always we make our own t-shirts and dresses from scratch! The décor around the runway really set the tone for the night from the creativity of Renee Millett and Robert Carroll, topped off with a special art installation from the very talented Fernando Mora. Plus, everyone felt at home with DJ Zeke spinning the best of Michael Jackson on the 1s and 2s!

This year we focused on raising funds specifically for the Darfur Peace & Development Org (DPDO) and raised nearly $1700, about twice the amount we raised last summer at the launch of HUMAN INTONATION! It was great to have both the Executive Director and the Dir. of Programs of the Darfur Peace & Development Org in the audience. And there is still time to donate! If you were not able to attend “Fashion’s Siren for Change” or would like to support HUMAN INTONATION and the Darfur Peace & Development Org* please contact us at info@humanintonation.com to complete you tax-deductible donation. Thank you for your support!

Press Coverage: Be on the look out for the great press coverage we received from this event! Our online article from Giant Magazine in their emerging designers section “Threads” will be out this morning (Friday), and you can find other great articles going up over the next few days from sources such as EXO Limited Magazine, Alex the Magazine, and Caribbean Life Newspaper. I
am also looking forward to seeing a few of the TV interviews I gave that night! A big thank you to our Director of PR, Aaron Garrett for a job well done.

How could the night end without Cookies and Condoms…in the gift bags of
course!

*How your donations at “Fashion’s Siren for Change: HUMAN
INTONATION” will help DPDO!

The Darfur Peace & Development Organization’s mission is to provide humanitarian relief to victims of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, to facilitate just governance, and to enable Darfurians to effectively rebuild and develop their homeland. In 2009, Due to the recent expulsions of several of the largest humanitarian organizations from Darfur, the education sector has been severely impacted. Thousands of Darfuri children are now without access to schools. DPDO’s fifteen schools were not affected by the expulsion order. In order for DPDO to be able to step in and fill the gaps left by the expelled organizations, increased funding is a necessity. www.darfurpeace.org
