Design for Humanity

Overview

"Be the change you want to be in the world" is the driving philosophy behind Billabong's charitable division Design for Humanity. These guys are in the business of making a real contribution to humanitarian causes and they're bringing us along with them. Billabong's second annual Design for Humanity benefit is a rare blend of giving and receiving — an extravaganza of music, art and fashion where 100% of the proceeds are donated in support of the Pakistan Flood Children's Appeal. The aim of these events is to promote awareness of and raise funds to support humanitarian and environmental causes whilst celebrating the capacity we all have to make a real and lasting difference where it matters most.

Doing it for the kids at Oxford Art Factory this year are The Vines, Operator Please, Flight Facilities, PhDJ from Purple Sneakers, Sosueme DJs and MUM DJs. For your viewing pleasure there'll be art installations by the likes of Claudio Kirac, and a runway showing of Billabong bikinis styled in conjunction with designer Lil Boyd.
