Led by Rachael Russell Saiger and Isabela Rangel Grutman, STYLE SAVES is a community of creatives who are committed to engaging with tomorrow’s leaders through the basic principles that fashion can uplift and be a catalyst for good.
We are in a relentless pursuit to provide youths and their families with essential goods – from school backpacks to nutritious meals – to increase academic achievement.
Through our purpose-driven, experiential moments, including our annual silent auction, Back-to-School event, and meaningful partnerships, STYLE SAVES has formed an alliance of dedicated thought leaders who stand firm in the powerful connection that can be made when fashion meets philanthropy.
WHAT WE DO
Our extensive and diverse activations throughout the year provide opportunities to bring awareness to our mission and to serve those in need.
Our multi-prong approach to providing aid to disadvantaged students, their families and those affected by disaster-related occurrences includes creating experiential community events, meaningful philanthropic efforts, a robust annual silent auction, and unique collaborations.
Thanks to the limitless generosity of our donors, we receive over $1 million in annual support, spread across the value of the merchandise, food and beverage, in-kind cash donations, and other aid.
Community Events
We fundraise through an array of experiences, incorporating the important undertones of fashion, cultural arts, and wellness. Events include our annual Back-To-School celebration, Project Prom, and holiday giveback programs.
We’ve partnered with wide-reaching brands, such as Zimmermann, Stuart Weitzman, Isabel Marant, Balenciaga, Chrome Hearts, Reformation, and more. In addition, our events have been hosted at venues such as The Setai, Miami Beach; Bal Harbour Shops; The Miami Beach EDITION; and SoHo Beach House.
Philanthropy
We provide aid to students and their families, supplying free clothing, shoes, food assistance, maternity needs, school essentials, PPE, personal hygiene supplies, and more.
Silent Auction
Style Saves hosts an annual three-week online silent auction through CharityBuzz, the world's leading online auction site. Over the years, we’ve listed notable items and experiences, such as the Austin City Limits Experience, hotel stays at the renowned The Standard and The Fontainebleau, nightlife experiences including VIP tables and bottle service at the exclusive LIV, ELEVEN, and Space nightclubs. Funds raised during this auction benefit our annual Back-to-School event.
