Amnesty Fashion Show for Haiti...






On Thursday, January 28th, our TCIS student chapter of Amnesty International hosted a big fashion show event to raise awareness about conscious consumerism and fair trade products. It was a hugely successful night that featured a guest speaker from a nearby fair trade cafe and fashions designed by four TCIS art students. We raised almost 1.2 million won (about $1000 US) which is being donated to our school's Hope for Haiti campaign (which has raised almost $5000). It was a great night and the four Amnesty leaders (pictured in a photo with LeeAnne) were amazing in demonstrating how passionate they are to help others in our world.

Hi I already left a comment on one of your student designer's blogs about this but I would love your advice as well. I am a high school student from Plano, Texas (a suburb outside dallas) and I am the vice president of our school's Amnesty club. We are trying to put on our own Amnesty International Fashion show and I would love it if you could offer advice on how you guys planned it. Advertising, how you got the clothes, how the runway was built, etc. We're trying to put it on by april and its been tough. Thanks so much!
