We’re taking our turn at Taco Tuesday–and we’ll be competing against Krupp Group, which reps designers like Jeffrey Monteiro, Chris Benz, Lela Rose, and Rachel Comey!
Stop by The Hudson Terrace in New York on Tuesday, July 27 for awesome eats, drinks, and raffle prizes, all for a good cause. All proceeds Taco Tuesday benefit Fashion Targets Breast Cancer, an ongoing initiative of the CFDA Foundations. You could also win some cute stuff from Giles & Brother by Philip Crangi, Lee Angel, Rachel Leigh and Lela Rose, Chris Benz and Aloha Rag. Rumor has it that a designer or two will also be stopping by to guest-bartend. Hope to see you there!
