Donating Designers and Beauty Gurus

Los Angeles, CA – SPR, a fashion agency located in Hollywood, announces today that several of their clients are participating in Katrina Relief Fund efforts including: Big Sway, Icon, Jacquelyne Love, Erica Courtney, Audmatic and Steam.

Big Sway, owned by Victoria Vaughn (Vince's sis) and Hugh Hayden, started their company only six months ago with headquarters based in New Orleans. Hayden, a native and resident of the city, managed to salvage some inventory from his damaged distribution center, all of which will be donated. Hayden was in the city when the hurricane hit though he and his family have, like all others in the area, lost everything.

Icon, the luxury shoe and leather goods company, is donating 400 pair of leather driving moccasins in a variety of sizes. The shoes are extremely comfortable and practical. www.iconshoes.com
