Ethical AND Trendy: Fair Trade Fashion
Fashion will meet fair trade on the Silver Needle runway this year! Our sophomore collections will feature fair trade textiles gathered from countries around the world: India, Tanzania, Guatamela, and China. Why is fair trade important? This movement not only aims to encourage people to think about where their clothes are coming from before purchases are made, but also, and more importantly, provides ethical profit and fashion-conscious benefits that go directly to the designers who are producing them. This segment is supported by Marist College’s Seaming A[wear]ness program, an educational campaign to promote fair trade awareness in the fashion industry. Seaming A[wear]ness was started by five Marist seniors, including our very own student co-director, Kimberly Warren!
Check out the Seaming A[wear]ness blog at http://seamingawearness.com/ and show your support for this important cause by attending Seaming A[wear]ness day on Wednesay April 27th right here at Marist!
