The crowd was roaring as celebrities pranced down the runway in a head to head battle at the TDink Magazine’s 2nd Annual Fashion Walkoff. The event featured TDink’s designer of the year, DBLA Clothing, in a benefit for the Keep a Breast Foundation. Justin Kredible and Siri Garber hosted the evening. Guests were treated to an amazing view of a priceless Alan Chin Hanger installation when they entered the venue.
