You can own Chloe Sevigny's fridge!
Since my post for the auction last year was so complicated to write (Housing Works has so many gosh darn great links for their web site and Flickr sets) that I've decided to get to the point and paste an excerpt from the press release I received:
"Starting Tuesday, March 3, Housing Works Thrift Shops unveil our first wave of spring merchandise at separate “preview” sales at each of our locations. (Click here for a full list of preview sales and hours.) The Tribeca Spring Preview, which starts at 10am on Saturday, March 7, will double as the store’s grand opening and feature a silent auction of donations from prominent New York celebrities, politicians and designers. Auction bidding takes place on March 7, from 1pm to 4pm at the Tribeca at 72 Warren St."
This vintage Lilli Ann coat will be going for $150 at the Spring Preview sale:
"All profits from all eight Housing Works Thrift Shops go to Housing Works’ lifesaving services for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS. Those services include housing, medical care, meals, job training and drug treatment programs. Like Housing Works’ other locations, the Tribeca store will provide jobs for participants in and graduates of Housing Works acclaimed job training program for people living with HIV and AIDS."
