MIAMI (CBSmiami) – It's a who's who of designer duds and luxury labels. The ultimate in barely worn items from couture brands to lesser known designers in all price ranges. They call it 'Fashionably Conscious' and it's now in its eighth year.
This weekend's fashion event takes places on the second floor of Cocowalk in Coconut Grove. Donation parties have been going on since July.
"It's a really wonderful way to clean out your closet and know that who's ever going to use that beautiful piece and know what it is and will appreciate it," said Liza Walton, an executive committee member.
'Fashionably Conscious' is a fashion fundraising sale.
One-hundred percent of the proceeds go to 'Coconut Grove Cares: The Barnyard Community Center,' which provides after school care to more than 250 needy kids in the West Grove.
Prices range start from $10 and go up, up and up.
There are shoes, bags dresses jewelry – anything and everything you can put on.
A gold pair of Lady Gaga-esque run $85, while an elegant pair of black Christian Louboutin black sling backs are priced at $140.
There's a $40 Kate Spate bag and a large Valentino for $1500.
"This Grand Dame of bags, Chanel, is priced at $1850. New it would be over $3,500," said Anna Elizabeth, who is also on the FC committee.
Year after year, 'Fashionably Conscious' just keeps growing and plans for this year are bigger than ever.
"We have been growing every year, where we first started and made $7,000 – last year we broke the $100,000 mark. Our goal this year is too exceed that," said Walton.
'Fashionably Conscious' is on Saturday and Sunday.
