In addition, Mischa Barton, The Killers, Chris Beckman of Polo Jeans, Kim Smith of Guess?, Italo Zucchelli of Calvin Klein, and Olympic Medalists Misty May, Elaine Youngs, Mike Lambert, Eric Fonoimoana, as well as, the editors of Teen Vogue have pitched in their fashion design two cents for this worthy cause.

These wearable works of art have been stonewashed, deconstructed, distressed, hand-painted, paint splattered, studded, shredded, embroidered, embossed, and frayed to reflect a unique look that can't be found anywhere else. Loaded up with lapel pins, decals, chains, belts, rhinestones, appliques, and macrame, the dish on these denim pieces is that they are so unique that the celebrity designers themselves don't even have one hanging in their own closets.

Each denim piece will be a unique reflection of their sense of style. There'll be items in blue denim or black denim, light and dark washes. Trendsetters will be able to slip into a pair of custom-designed glam jeans by JLO, step into a pair of autographed Keds by Mischa Barton or grab hold of Donna's denim handbag that's been reworked from a pair of jeans! Each piece will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity and bids will start at $50. For those who can't wait to get the scoop on who'll be part of this elite fashion clique, there'll be a preview of the items on Macy's very own teen site, www.thisit.com/auction, beginning on August 11th.

The Macy's divisions of Federated Department Stores include Macy's East, Macy's West, Macy's Northwest, Macy's Florida and Macy's Central, operating more than 423 premier department stores in 33 states, Guam and Puerto Rico. In addition to distinctive merchandise and great value, the Macy's name is synonymous with spectacular special events and strong community support.
