Education to Introduce Kinder, More Sustainable Materials
More than just a fashion show… we’re providing evidence-based education and showing off innovative solutions along the way. We utilize our model casting, our main event, other community events, our owned media, and mainstream media to get the word out about vegan fashion and next-gen materials. The most sustainable option is to shop your own closet first; but if you must buy something new, we encourage you to be informed about your choices and choose animal-free materials that are kinder and more sustainable.
