Frenchpop Singer Yelle Rocks VEDA LiveLoveGive Charity Launch

 

The runway show for the launch of women's charity LiveLoveGive was not only a blast - with a live performance by French popstar and all around badass Yelle, but also supported a good cause. Taking place at Seven Bar on the water outside the United Nations, they debuted their charity to the world with a rockin' lingerie show and concert party.

The weather has been freezing here, so we all wore our coats (and socks!) until the last minute, but once that runway rush kicked in- none of us noticed. I always appreciate when women are able to use their love for fashion for a good cause, and this organization does just that. Their program enables women to live out their dreams by providing financing and support to start-up companies through VEDA Financial and member donation.

Since its the UN, security was super heavy, with airport level security and badges to go into each building - which was definitely a Lara Croft moment in my full length black wool coat and ruby red lips. There's something about national security that immediately brings the James Bond theme song to mind, bringing whole new meaning to "Agent Provocateur". The theme was "redefining the corset"featuring unique pieces from Guy Laroche, Erin Fetherston, and yes pun intended, Agent Provocateur for the six of us to wear. Not all of the "redefined" corsets were sexy though..

One of the models had to wear a "head corset" that she couldn't see in. It was like one of those ridiculous challenges off America's Next Top Model, no joke. She was freaking out at the end because she got so claustrophobic! 

But overall, everyone was alright and it was a really interesting show for a good cause.
