It’s about both fashion and philanthropy for designer Nicole Miller. She celebrated her collaboration with women’s non-profit Indego Africa at her New York Soho Boutique, launching her exclusive collection of multi-colored fabric bangles and woven bracelets (which sold out within the first hour!). Guests sipped on wine while shopping, courtesy of The Naked Grape. And the evening also featured a live performance by Cape Verdean singer, Fantcha Mendes. A portion of all of the event’s proceeds were donated to Indego Africa, an organization that helps train Rwandan women in long-term skills like literacy, business, and computers. Appearances included Heatherette designer Richie Rich, Model Sarah Ziff and Good Day New York’s Greg Kelly.
