Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2007
DDCLAB, the innovative New York fashion team of Roberto Crivello & Savania Davies-Keiller with Joshua Klein of JoshuaTreeStudio is pleased to announce a showcasing of Klein's photographs at their West Hollywood flagship store during the upcoming Avenues of Art and Design Art Walk. June 2 will be dedicated to raising awareness and funds for UNICEF's Global Malaria Initiative.
"as many of the images were created in developing regions, it is exciting to make some return on the hospitality and generosity of those especially in the Sahel & Sahara regions of Mali. While there you learn that a mosquito is more than mere annoyance but a vital threat."
The June 2, 2007 event will take place during the Avenues Art & Design 10th Annual Art Walk from four until eight pm. Among the innovations of Roberto Crivello's and Savania Davies-Keiller's ready to wear collection at DDCLAB, selections from Klein's Mali, Thailand, Paris and Joshua Tree will be on display. A silent auction, shopping, a dj and cocktails will round out the festivities. The JoshuaTreeStudio work will remain on view through July 1, 2007.
