The shoes, donated by HooDoo Shoes, will be worn by models wearing body-painted couture and auctioned off at the end of the evening along with other works of fashion and art, all donated by very generous artist and designers.

All proceeds from the silent auction will go directly to soles4souls to provide shoes to children and adults to allow them to go to school and work and help them elevate their own families and in the end, their own society and villages.
