Shoe Goddess Hosts Benefit for Mothers Against Gang Violence

Florence Azria and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa

Florence is known for more than her vast shoe collection and culinary skills, she is a vocal supporter of A Place Called Home - a privately funded organization that keeps kids off the streets in South Central Los Angeles. She teaches cooking and has opened a forum for women eager to express themselves and find support in keeping their children out of gangs. All proceeds from The Shoegoddess blog goes to A Place Called Home. Now isn't that a cause worthy of new Gucci pumps?
