CHELSEA (WABC) — One of New York’s most anticipated fashion events is back.<\/p>\n
The Housing Works’ annual ‘Fashion for Action’ kicks off Wednesday night, offering designer deals at up to 80% off.<\/p>\n
But it’s more than just shopping; every purchase helps fund healthcare and housing for New Yorkers in need.<\/p>\n
Inside Housing Works’ flagship store in Chelsea, it’s the shopping event of the year.<\/p>\n
Everything at Fashion for Action is donated.<\/p>\n
“When I got the ask, it was a no-brainer, I said yes immediately,” Robyn Mowatt said.<\/p>\n
Mowatt has worked in the fashion industry for more than a decade. Her room at ‘Fashion for Action’ highlights black designers.<\/p>\n
All proceeds from the multi-day event will help support programs at Housing Works, which focuses on homelessness and HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n
Wednesday’s ticketed opening night has tickets starting at $45. Then, Thursday through Sunday, the event is free.<\/p>\n
