Austin Fashion Week In Store Boutique Parties To Benefit The Kindness Campaign


There is nothing better than finding some great deals online or from your favorite local boutique. The pre-Austin Fashion Week runway show festivities included several online fashion buying opportunities from some amazing vendors with partial proceeds to benefit The Kindness Campaign. A few instore gatherings set the tone to get everyone excited about the exciting runway shows.

The Kindness Campaign was founded by Andra Liemandt of the all-female band The Mrs in 2015. The organization gives a voice to all young people who want to stop the cycle of bullying. Their core message is “I am enough”.
“It’s all about human connection and self-image and loving yourself”, said Kimberly Skinner, Sr. Curriculum and Programs Manager for The Kindness Campaign. Andra was asked to be a part of AFW and thought it was a good match to help spread the word about their platform. “Kindness is beauty and kindness is fashion”, Skinner added.
