Mashable! - Fashion Industry Hosts Online Auctions for Japan Relief

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CDFA) has brought together many of the world’s leading fashion and media brands for a series of online auctions to raise money for relief efforts in Japan.

The Fashion & Friends for Japan auctions, hosted on charitybuzz, run from now until April 28. Among the highlights? A week-long stay at Diane Von Furstenberg’s Harbour Island Beach House with a $1,000 shopping spree at a DVF boutique, a meeting with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and a custom dress designed by Olivier Theyskens (pictured).

The CDFA is doing a major push on social networks, asking friends and supporters to spread the word through posts on Facebook, Twitter (hashtags: #HelpJapan and #Fashion4Japan) and website banners.

All proceeds will be donated to Japan Society.
