Project Angel Food will honor Sean Combs and Jessica Lange for their contributions to international style, the fight against AIDS and other serious illnesses during the Dec. 2 opening night gala for Divine Design 2004.
The charity also will honor People magazine with a “Corporate Humanitarian” award for its longtime coverage of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the struggle people face with serious illnesses. Project Angel Food will present the awards before opening 30,000 square feet of deeply discounted designer clothing and accessories to the public for four days of shopping.
Each year Divine Design, Los Angeles’ premier fashion and design shopping event, takes over a massive hangar at the Santa Monica Air Center.
