Designer sketches save lives

Get ready, set, go! Get your little hands on original fashion sketches, from famous designers. I'm talking about the most important auction, organized by Style, in order to raise money for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC). That's why, some of the sketches featured in Fashion Illustrations by Fashion Designers (great book, really cheap, buy it) are offered for auction, the originals I mean.
How does it work? Every week, 3 or 4 famous designers, offer you their works and you give them money. Here is the program:
Week one 3/28 - 4/4: Phillip Lim, Rodarte, Lacroix
Weel two 4/4 - 4/11: Doo.Ri, Peter Som, Sonia Rykiel
Week three: 4/11 - 4/18: Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, Giambattista Valli, Isaac Mizrahi
So far, my favorite is Doo.Ri. But the thing I like about all of them, is that non of their sketches are perfect - art school - look alike! Each one of them is original, beautiful, special. Here they are (in order):

Phillip Lim, Rodarte, Lacroix

Doo.Ri, Peter Som, Sonia Rykiel

Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, Giambattista Valli, Isaac Mizrahi
