The W Private Residences at the W Atlanta Downtown recently hosted the kick-off party for Jeffrey Fashion Cares 2009, one of Atlanta’s premier charitable event.

Jason Wu, designer of First Lady Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown, is this year’s special guest designer and Wu joined the Fashion Cares host committee at the W Residences for this year’s launch party.

Now in its 17th year, Fashion Cares benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Atlanta Affiliate and the Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund. Last year’s sold-out event raised a record-breaking $800,000, with 95 cents on the dollar going to its beneficiary charities.
