Like so many others, designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka were looking for a productive way to spend their quarantine. Naturally, the duo behind Badgley Mischka turned to what they know best – fashion.

After self-isolating in their home in Palm Beach Florida for over eight weeks now, the designers turned to art as a way to work through their feelings invoked by the pandemic. After taking to Instagram to share their work, the duo was surprised to see how their followers responded.

“After posting some of Mark’s sketches on Instagram, we had an overwhelming response and requests to purchase them,” James Mischka explained. “We wanted to use that opportunity to benefit people in need.”

In response to the demand over social media, Badgley Mischka has announced they will be using their talent for good. The designers have decided to auction off all 35 of Mark’s sketches online at www.badgleymischka.com as part of an online auction through Ebay for Charity. 100% of the purchase price of each sketch will go directly to Feeding America. The funds raised will help Feeding America provide support to their network of foodbanks across the country to provide food assistance to everyone facing hunger. In addition, every sketch sold will be personalized for each winner and will be framed and shipped at no cost.

“In the face of enormous challenges, Feeding America food banks are responding with extraordinary efforts to make sure no one goes hungry during the pandemic,” said Mark. “We were supporters of Feeding America before the pandemic, and their mission is even more critical now,” added James. “Badgley Mischka is honored to be assisting in their efforts through the artistry of fashion design.”

Bidding will be open until 11:59 on May 17th. Place your bids here!
