Black dresses and tuxedos will be available for bidding starting Jan. 19.
Black outfits that many actors and actresses wore at the 2018 Golden Globes to raise awareness about the Time’s Up initiative against workplace sexual harassment will be auctioned this week to benefit the cause.
Time’s Up, eBay and Condé Nast on Wed., Jan. 17, announced a partnership to auction the clothes on Friday, with proceeds going to the Time’s Up legal defense fund.
“We’re thrilled that actors and others in the entertainment industry are leading in this extraordinary way to end the scourge of workplace sexual harassment,” said Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, which administers the Time’s Up’s fund.
“Each time they’ve stepped up they’ve inspired more attorneys to join the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund and more individuals to contribute,” Graves added.
Black dresses and tuxedos donated by designers like Versace, Vera Wang, Balenciaga and Gucci will be available for bidding on auction site eBay beginning at noon on Jan. 19,and ending on Jan. 26.
