Saturday: Give Us Wings Design ChallengeWhat: Local designers give back with a Project Runway-style twist: to design a garment with fabrics from Africa. The annual benefit for African nonprofit Give Us Wings also includes live art by John Olympio, emcee Faatemah Ampey (Shear Genius), African handmade jewelry and gifts for sale, live models, food and drink, and live and silent auctions featuring some of the fashions created for the challenge. The 11 participating designers include Emma Berg, Jenny Carle and Renate Adjei. Tickets are $35 with proceeds going toward Give Us Wings; RSVP at www.giveuswings.org.
