MODArt - Peace and Love

catherine barr

YEAH, baby. Peace and love and celebration and unification. A groovy beat, some swinging styles and fine art. Concept Sauvage, in conjunction with Holt Renfrew and other sponsors presented "MODArt - Peace and Love: an "evening of high fashion and inspired art for the benefit of wild salmon and their habitat in B.C." The Ballard Lederer gallery was the place to be on May 22 as guests sucked on raw oysters, sipped cocktails and admired the runway fashions and artwork. A silent auction also helped raise funds which benefit the Steelhead Society of B.C. Tres trendy.
