Billabong is at it again, saving the world one outfit at a time, a different cause a year all while rocking out! Billabong’s 5th annual Design for Humanity Event is being held Wednesday, June 15th at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood, Ca. Started by Billabong’s marketing, art and design teams, Design for Humanity was an opportunity to give back and benefit an organization close to the heart of our community and industry by combining fashion, art and music, all in the name of a good cause. Every year there is a big name band that rocks the crowd, art that’s a killer, and lovely ladies in fashion that are so beautiful they capture every heart. Started in April 2007, the very first Design for Humanity was held at Avalon and Spider Club in Hollywood with Shiny Toy Guns and DJ Vice, benefitting SurfAid International. In the following years they have had musical guests such as Steve Aoki, MGMT, and Fischerspooner, benefiting non-profits such as Surfrider Foundation and Invisible Children. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros will be taking the stage this year in hopes of raising huge awareness and profits for VH1’s Save the Music. And don’t fret, this isn’t an “invite only/someone who knows someone” event; you can go too! Tickets go on sale today at www.DesignForHumanity.com / $30 for General Admission and $99 for VIP. Can’t wait to score your tickets? Don’t panic- you can listen to The Zero’s here while you’re waiting in angst to score your tix!
