Ethical fashion hits Paris catwalks

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Stay tuned for the fourth edition of the Ethical Fashion Show® Paris, the seminal event in the world of ethical and eco-fashion. October 11th-14th 2007.

Ethical Fashion Show® Paris will showcase over seventy designers from all five continents that present fashion which is respectful of man and the environment. Among new countries featured this year: Australia, Afghanistan, Austria and Laos.

This year again, the event will renew the recipe which made the previous years a resounding success : showrooms, animations, catwalk shows, as well as conferences focusing on different topics related to social and environmental responsibility for companies operating in the textile industry.

 

Ethical Fashion Show® Paris is originally aimed at professionals and media, but the organizers plan to make the event open to the general public on one of the days (Sunday 14th).

Ethical Fashion Show® Paris will take place at the Tapis Rouge, one of Paris’ prestigious fashion locations. The original Parisian department store was built in 1784, and is in the heart of Paris, close to the train stations Gare

de l’Est and Gare du Nord.
