18 DECEMBER 2012 | OUT AND ABOUT

Last week, we gave a lunch to support FilmAid, our first initiative with the charity. Along with our co host Josie Ho, FilmAid’s Global Artist Council member here in Hong Kong,  we gathered FilmAid’s friends together for a pre Christmas shindig. Better still, we were lucky enough to have our very own Twilight moment. In town for the Hong Kong premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (also being held to benefit the charity) was Elizabeth Reaser, one very cool lady. Her co star Jamie Campbell Bower also came along, bringing his girlfriend Lily Collins, too.

We’re rather proud of our new association with this charity. Founded in 1999 during the Balkan crisis by award-winning producer Caroline Baron (Capote, Monsoon Wedding), FilmAid uses the power of film and media to transcend language and literacy, bringing life-saving information, psychological relief and much-needed hope to refugees and other communities in need around the globe. With strong support from both Hollywood and the humanitarian communities, the charity has brought critical information, training and empowerment programs to more than two million people worldwide.

To how our support for this truly worthwhile cause, we’e launched our FilmAid clutch, a newly designed and vamped up version of our classic Pearce bag. Coming in gold and gun metal grey, it’s available exclusively on our website, and all net proceeds from it’s sales will go direct to the charity.  As seen here on Reaser, who wore hers to the premiere that same night, it’s most definitely red carpet worthy, and so rather FilmAid fitting. You can find it here.
