Fashion Event Gets Political

Fashion and music fans will be urged to register to vote at an Oct. 13 event at Club Avalon in Hollywood.

“Declare Yourself” will feature a runway presentation of designs by De La Parra Los Angeles, Lola Dean and Q-Gene and musical performances by DJ Poet of The Black Eyed Peas, The Webb Brothers and Caviar. Model and philanthropist Carolina Bacardi will serve as host.

The event is organized by a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization formed to encourage voter registration and participation. The event was scheduled to coincide with California’s voter registration deadline for the upcoming presidential election. Volunteers will be on hand to distribute and collect voter registration forms.

Admission is $20. For more information, e-mail christy@declareyourself.com.
