It’s that time of year again—the time when you can shop like a celebrity (or, for those of you attending the opening-night gala, you can shop with a celebrity...or two). And it’s all for a worthy cause.
Divine Design kicks off on Dec. 1 with its swank opening-night gala and stylish awards ceremony. The shopping event, which raises money for Project Angel Food, will run through Dec. 6 at the former Robinsons-May building next to the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.

Divine Design raises money for Project Angel Food, the Los Angeles–based nonprofit that feeds men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Project Angel Food and its 1,500 volunteers deliver more than 13,000 free meals every week.
