Some very safe dresses at an Evening of Hope

Examiner.com – by Dino-Ray Ramos, S.F. Fashion Examiner

Last week, I attended Evening of Hope: A Night of Lifesaving Fashion presented by Project Inform, a San Francisco-based organization that increases HIV/AIDS awareness and strives to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Appropriately, the theme of the evening’s runway items was…

Condoms. Yes, those things hanging from this girl’s hips are condoms. But before I get to the “big show,” the night was treated to some special guests that included a lip synching performance by a drag queen (I think it was a drag queen) and the evening’s master of ceremonies, Jack Mackenroth, the “Project Runway” alum (and UC Berkeley alum) who is very open with his HIV positive status and has designed knits and womenswear for Tommy Hilfiger.
