Finally, a Public School we’re actually excited about returning to! Public School NY designers Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow have come up with two fashionable new ways to support some incredible initiatives—with no social distancing required. As reported by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), the duo is part of the founding team behind BestKeptSecret, “a first-of-its-kind, five-day digital flash sale that curates highly sought-after premium and luxury American brands at sample sale prices”—and in case you’re wondering, that’s up to 80 percent off of retail.
More than 97,000 children in the US tested positive in last two weeks of July
Taking place from Tuesday, August 11 through Saturday, August 15, the “sale for change” aims to create a win-win for designers and shoppers and an even bigger win for two very worthy charities. Faced with an inventory overflow due to the outbreak of COVID-19, over 40 brands are selling off their excess merchandise in hopes of raising over $1 million for Baby2Baby, a Los Angeles-based organization providing basic essentials and clothing to newborns to 12-year-olds living in poverty, and the Colin Kaepernick-founded Know Your Rights Camp, which provides much-needed education and legal resources.
Though conventional wisdom and a flagging economy would suggest spending is the last thing we should be doing right now (especially with no further stimulus checks scheduled), BestKeptSecret claims its additional goal is “to promote conscious consumer spending.” At the very least, this is some self-indulgence that benefits others, so there’s that. And if you want to beat the crowds, a $25 donation will get you first dibs.
