Ecologique Fashion Show Happening in San Diego

by trish on September 8, 2009

I received a heads up from one of our darling designers, Maresa Cogger ( Tib Nelson Design) that she will be showing in the Ecologique fashion show in San Diego on Oct. 17, 2009. The fashion show will feature emerging designers in and around San Diego that use eco fashion friendly fabrics, upcycling and recycling. The show is being held as a fund raiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

The mastermind behind the project was interviewed as reader of the week for Venuszine. Here is an excerpt from that interview:

What exactly is Ecologique: Fashion for a Green Future?

Ecologique: Fashion for a Green Future is a green initiative fashion show featuring sustainable, eco-friendly, organic, and recycled/reconstructed designs. The purpose of the event is to expose the latest in green couture in addition to giving exposure to those designers, businesses, and boutiques that support eco-friendly practices. We would like to educate young consumers on the benefits of converting from purchasing cheaply constructed, bulk-manufactured, synthetic materials (aka ‘waste couture’) to utilizing their local thrift and consignment shops and local clothing designers thus contributing to the community.

happy reading,
