The Sacramento-based International Academy of Design & Technology is mixing fashion with philanthropy with an upcoming celebrity-filled event that benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northern California.
The event, which is free, is from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the school, 2450 Del Paso Road, Suite 250. That means your monetary donations that evening will be all the more appreciated.
So who is coming to this Haute Holiday Gala?
Ambreal Williams, who appeared on Cycle 9 of "America's Next Top Model," will host the show, which will feature the work of two internationally known fashion designers - Cesar Galindo and Traver Rains (pictured).
Galindo, a native of Houston, has been designing since the 1980s. His work has been featured in the Calvin Klein women's collection, Dolce & Gabbana and Levi Strauss. Galindo also has an impressive celebrity clientele.
Rains, who helped launch the global fashion brand Heatherette, has worked with Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears and Sarah Jessica Parker. For this event, Rains will also show off his skills as a photographer.
Attendees will get to meet and greet the guests and see their work.
