Honolulu Fashion Weekend Debuts June 27 Featuring Three Days of Fashion Supporting Arts Education

HONOLULU - June 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Honolulu Fashion Weekend, Hawaii's first ever fashion series, kicks off June 27th, 2013 with three days of fashion aloha, featuring over 15 local fashion designers. Live performances from popular Hawaii-based musicians, artists, and dancers will allow for a intricately festive event, paying homage to the colorful arts community of Honolulu. Honolulu Fashion Weekend will benefit arts education for at-risk Hawaii youth via the pioneering efforts of Afterschool ART Hawaii (www.AfterschoolARTHawaii.org). Designers, performers, and guest speakers will be announced shortly.

Afterschool ART was founded by Dr. Bob Grossmann in 2004, after having the opportunity to be briefed by staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health agencies, when he served as a Fellow for then Secretary of Health, Donna Shalala (1995-1996). He has found that youth respond to programs that bring quality art supplies and professional artists to where the youth-at-risk live and learn.

Honolulu Fashion Weekend will be hosted at The FIX Sports Lounge and Nightclub, a hot-spot recognized by the community for it's commitment to Hawaii's artists. The FIX Sports Lounge and Nightclub proudly represents the miraculous and multi-faceted renaissance happening in downtown Honolulu right now.
