On June 13, several celebrities participated in the 21st annual Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation “A Time For Heroes” Celebrity Picnic, complete with a safari theme and the 77kids by American Eagle Denim Decorating booth. The various celebrities and their families participated in the artsy event at Brentwood’s Wadsworth Great Lawn in Los Angeles.

The Denim Decorating booth gave the children (and adults too) in attendance a chance to design customized fashions with colorful paints, jewels for bedazzling and different fabrics for accenting.

American Eagle’s kid brand, 77kids will open its first stand-alone retail store this summer featuring the designs for children aged 2-12 that it has become known for, as well as increasing its clothes options to include baby wear. (www.77kids.com)
