Redress Raleigh a Polished Success

Saturday, April 17th, hundreds of people packed into the hip urban atmosphere of Flander’s Art Gallery in downtown Raleigh to view the 2nd Annual Redress Raleigh Fashion Show.  Redress is the Triangle’s premier ecologically friendly fashion show featuring area designers.  The sold out show was a stunning success. This year’s event was hands down the most sophisticated & polished fashion event in Raleigh to date.  The talent was impressive, many designers on-par with New York & other large city designers.

Clothing was well-made, wearable, & whimsical. A carefree spirit was evoked in breezy fashion lines created by designers such as Margo Scott, River Takada-Capel, Jackie Almeter, Keira Flood, Lindsay Kay, Rima L’Amir, Grace McFarland, & accessories designer Johanna Ely.  Glamorous, head-turning silhouettes were showcased in elegant upscale clothing designed by Courtney Schaffer, Crystal Pickard, Allison Szatek, Christy Michael, Payton-Alexis Brown, Brittany Erb & Katy Robb, & design duo Nicole Falchi & Daniella Wartner.

The show, part of the city’s Planet Earth Celebration, is produced annually by Mor Aframian, Jamie Powell, & Beth Stewart. The three women share a passion not only for clothing, but also for the environment.  Proceeds from the fashion event benefit the three representative host organizations: MorLove, a global community of socially conscious artists whose talents go to help those in need; Revamp, an eco-conscious clothing company that supports local causes;  & Triangle Emerging Green Builders, a committee of the U.S. Green Building Council.
