Deets: On March 10th, designer Jonathan Simkhai and actress January Jones hosted a shopping fundraiser at Jonathan Simkhai’s flagship store in Los Angeles in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ 5th Annual Make March Matter campaign.
During the event, the designer himself helped VIP guests including actress Tamin Sursok and The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan Edmonds pick out pieces from his latest line and shopped a stunning jewelry collection by Coly Los Angeles. 15% of proceeds from the evening went to CHLA’s Make March Matter campaign, which raises money to fund and maintain the hospital’s lifesaving programs.
