Don’t think that financial troubles (and a new CEO) across the pond are getting in the way of Billabong’s biggest Hollywood party. Nah. It seems nothing is going to stop the 6th Annual Billabong Design For Humanity on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at Paramount Studios.
This year’s Design for Humanity will feel like a music festival offering multiple performances on three stages by some of today’s hottest bands and DJs. Indie rock bands Walk the Moon and Imagine Dragons will open the show followed by performances by American folk rock band The Lumineers and headliners Welsh alt rock band The Joy Formidable. . . . Guests will get an exclusive sneak peak of the Billabong Spring 2013 Billabong collection, which will be showcased in a runway show in conjunction with a number of one-of-a-kind custom pieces during the Design for Humanity event.
