Consider this your invitation to one of New York's most coveted fashion events. Fashion for Action 2026 is taking over Chelsea for a night of designer steals, celebrity closets, flowing drinks, and the kind of crowd that makes you wish you'd dressed just a little better. This isn't your average sample sale. It's a New York fashion institution, and you're on the list.
Grab your $19 Fashionista Ticket (a $40 value) for admission to this iconic shopping soirée, complete with a 2 Hour Open Bar of Wine & Beer from 7:00pm-9:00pm, plus Bar Snacks to fuel your fashion hunt. Expect racks of brand-new designer fashion, statement accessories, covetable handbags, shoes, jewelry, and more, all at a jaw-dropping 50%-80% off retail prices. Yes, really.
But the real flex? The closets. This year's lineup of fashion royalty includes Kathy Hilton, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Paris Hilton, Lucy Sykes, Timo Weiland, Natalie Kates, and Ezra J. William, among others, whose curated collections bring one-of-a-kind pieces and serious insider appeal to the shopping floor. Think fashion's best-kept secrets, minus the impossible guest list.
The evening comes with an equally fabulous supporting cast. Emmy Award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson hosts, with fashion heavyweights including PAPER Magazine's Mickey Boardman, celebrity stylist Jason Bolden, Adair Curtis, and Kesha McLeod helping lead the festivities.
Meanwhile, DJ Mia Moretti, boyyyish, and Timo Weiland will provide the soundtrack as New York's stylish set shops, sips, mingles, and makes a few very good wardrobe decisions. From unexpected finds to pieces that deserve their own entrance, the only rule is to trust your taste and move fast.
And here's the part that never goes out of style: every purchase benefits Housing Works, supporting lifesaving healthcare, housing, and advocacy for New Yorkers affected by HIV/AIDS and homelessness. Designer fashion, a killer night out, and a cause worth showing up for? Only in New York...
Some New York traditions are simply too good to miss. Fashion For Action 2026 is back, bringing its signature mix of designer treasures, celebrity closets, downtown cool, and serious star power to Housing Works Chelsea. For more than two decades, this cult-favorite fashion affair has attracted the city's best-dressed insiders for a night where the shopping is spectacular, the wine flows, and every purchase has a purpose.
The brains behind the fabulousness? Housing Works, the pioneering NYC nonprofit that's been fighting HIV/AIDS and homelessness since 1990. Through lifesaving healthcare, supportive housing, and fearless advocacy, the organization has turned secondhand shopping into a movement. And with Fashion For Action raising more than $10 million over the years, looking good has never done so much good.
This year's edition is bringing the fashion heavyweights. Emmy Award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson hosts, while PAPER Magazine's Mickey Boardman, celebrity stylist Jason Bolden, Adair Curtis, Natalie Kates, and Kesha McLeod serve as co-chairs. Meanwhile, the closets of Kathy Hilton, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Paris Hilton, J. Logan Horne, Robyn Mowatt, Lucy Sykes, and Timo Weiland are getting the VIP treatment, offering one-of-a-kind finds you won't spot hanging on just any rack.
The scene? A designer-filled playground of brand-new apparel, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and beauty finds marked 50%-80% off retail. DJs will supply the soundtrack as fashion editors, stylists, influencers, and New York's impeccably dressed descend on Chelsea to sip, shop, and score.
Consider it retail therapy with a conscience, and a guest list to match. One night. Serious style. A very New York kind of magic...
