FIG Manufacturers Sale Raises $93,000
Approximately $93,000 was raised through the Eighth Annual Manufacturers Charity Sale presented by the Fashion Industries Guild on May 17 at the California Market Center (formerly the California Mart).
Proceeds from the event benefit the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Facility at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The sale consisted of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel; swimwear; and accessories sold at wholesale prices. Participating manufacturers included Hot Kiss, Lucky Brand Dungarees, GUESS?, Laundry, Karen Kane, Self Esteem, Rampage and Esprit.
Fashion Industries Guild, which plans to honor Self Esteem owner Richard Clareman as “Man of the Year” in October, has had a 43-year relationship with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. To date, the association has raised over $13 million for the center. —Claudia Figueroa
