Through Sunday May 29, Lifetime Television is auctioning four wedding dresses designed by Project Runway contestants to benefit Break the Cycle, the leading national organization working with youth to prevent domestic and dating violence.
Celebrating the royal wedding and healthy relationships, Lifetime Television asked Project Runway contestants to sketch their version of the royal gown. Designers from each season participated, submitting their drawings in the excitement leading up to Prince William and Kate Middleton's nuptials. Designers Emilio Sosa (Season 7), Johnathan Kayne (Season 3), Irina Shabayeva (Season 6) and Nick Verreos (Season 2) then turned their sketches into real garments.
Now, Lifetime is generously auctioning off these fantasy creations and donating all the proceeds to Break the Cycle.
"It is with great pleasure that we bring together Lifetime's celebration of the royal wedding, our hit show Project Runway and our commitment to support and empower women by donating to Break the Cycle," said Danielle Carrig, Senior Vice President of Advocacy and Public Affairs for Lifetime.
"Break the Cycle's mission to prevent domestic violence and encourage healthy relationships is a wonderful thing to celebrate on your wedding day," said Marjorie Gilberg, Executive Director of Break the Cycle. "We are thrilled and grateful to have support from Lifetime and its viewers."
Project Runway will return for its ninth season this summer.
