Eco-Fashion Show Call for Designers

Now that green is the new black and people are recycling jeans to make into building insulation, why not combine the concept of fashion and green design into one big bonanza? Sounds Red-Hot to me. and the Triangle Emerging Green Builders, MorLove and American Vintage agree and need your help to make an event out of it.

The Emerging Green Builders have sponsored local “green drinks” in Raleigh to promote conversation about sustainability in the Triangle.  These are fun events to meet and greet as well as learn more about how you can help our area become more responsible and green. The fashion show should be just another layer in this social conscience design attitude.

GREEN DESIGNERS WANTED

Call to Designers for an Eco-Fashion show!

Co-hosted by MorLove, Triangle Emerging Green Builders, and American Vintage, this eco-fashion show will be held at the NCSU College of Textiles in late March or early April 2009.

Come show the Triangle what green fashion is all about! Designers wishing to participate in this innovative show must present two finished garments to the judging panel on August 23rd, between 10am and 2pm, at the Atrium in the NC State College of Textiles.

The clothing to be selected for the Eco-Fashion show must show a strong emphasis on ecologically friendly design.  Eco-friendly design can be in the form of recycled or remanufactured garments, as well as using eco-friendly fabrics and production processes.  If you have any questions about the requirements, we welcome you to contact us at greenfashionshow@gmail.com.  

To be considered, each designer must:

·      Create two garments that show a strong emphasis on green design

·      Completely fill out the application form below

·      Bring your two garments and application to the Atrium in the NC State College of Textiles on August 23rd between 10 am and 2 pm.  Appointments will be scheduled in 15 minute blocks, please email us at greenfashionshow@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.

Designers selected by our panel to participate will be asked to present a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10 pieces at the Eco-Fashion Show.  We are asking all designers to strongly consider donating two of their pieces to the Amani Baby Cottage, an orphanage in Uganda that is supported in part by MorLove, a non-profit student organization in the College of Textiles at NC State.

While we may be able to recruit volunteers to model and help with hair and make-up, we are asking all designers to be prepared to find their own models and take care of their own hair and make-up.
