Fashion Fights Poverty made my Top 10 Green Fashion Revolutionaries Hit List back in April. Sure D.C. – equipped with stuffy suits and political cronies – seems a most unlikely candidate for a fashion event, but fashion is anything but apolitical! Behind all the love affair for glam – there is the onerous reality of trade policy – including the ever-present argument of free trade vs. fair trade. FFP helps release some of the burden from these issues by spotlighting designers and organizations that advocate for responsible consumerism and poverty alleviation through their designs. If you happen to find yourself in our nation’s capital the night of September 25th, 2009 – join me for the re: define form, re:fashion show and re:lease event at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel. It promises to be a triple threat for political poverty advocacy (and stuffy suits).
