Celeb stylist Derek Warburton has worked with everyone from Beyoncé to Miranda Kerr, but this week he's setting his sights on regular old New Yorkers.
On Thursday night, Warburton -- along with Bottomless Closet, which helps underprivileged women get back on their feet -- is showing designer wares on NYC women at the "Real Fashion, Real Women" show at the Empire Hotel. And it's a cause close to the stylist, who was homeless for a period as a boy.
"These women represent my mother to me," he said. "They are struggling to have a better life for their children, and I want to reward them with love and a little bit of fashion glamour."
Tickets to the show cost $50 to $100 and are available at realfashionrealwomen.eventbrite.com.
