Fashion Fighting Famine will host its fifth-annual summer fashion show at the University of California, Irvine's Pacific Ballroom on Sunday, June 3rd. The large-scale event features the hottest trends in Muslim fashion while revitalizing the fashion industry with gorgeous abayas and kaftans in brilliant colors. Summery, flowing styles such as these are at the current peak of style, and with a portion of the proceeds going to One Laptop Per Child, become even more irresistable.
