Ever
wonder what a Fair Trade fashion show might look like? If you live
anywhere near DC, you can find out on February 28. A consortium of organizations* is producing the Fashion 4 Development show in the IFC Auditorium, to be followed by a reception at Pangea Artisan Market & Café.
We are joining a host of other companies supplying the show with fairly traded items, including Ten Thousand Villages, World of Good, Pangea, Be Sweet, American Apparel, Edun, Global Mama’s, Creative Women, Global Handicrafters, and many more.
If you are one of our East Coast readers, I’d encourage you to check it out. Ping Sheela Bykadi for more information.
* including the IFC, World Bank, DC Week for Fashion, Fair Trade Federation, and the Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund.

We are so excited that Fair Trade Sports is involved in our show. I do hope that if anyone is in the area that they will come and support Fashion for Development’s fashion show.

I understand there will be the new sensational model from Colombia SA at the World Bank Show, name is Ana Maria Lawson. I sure she will add to the International Flavor with her Latin beauty. Viva Colombia!!
Too bad I just started subscribing to your blog - I missed the great DC fashion show! I’ll be on the lookout for such events in the future.
