Project Earth Day Fashion Show and Design Competition
April 23, 6:00 PM–9:00 PM
Openhouse Gallery, 201 Mulberry Street New York, New York 10012
$15–25
Project Earth Day is dedicated to green design principles and sustainability, and to providing a platform for environmental responsibility and innovation within the fashion industry. Brought to you by USGBC New York's Emerging Green Builders, please join us for the third annual Project Earth Day Fashion Show and Design Competition.
This year, a panel of celebrity judges have challenged contestants to travel "Through the Looking Glass"—where big is small, small is big—to explore notions of scale and proportion. Winning looks will be chosen based on how well they incorporate sustainable design principles and materials into their designs.
The hope is that universally accepted standards for sustainable design will evolve to become the mainstream, setting a precedent for authenticity and accountability. Project Earth Day hopes to spark this dialogue across industries by sharing information, ideas, and resources.
Program:
6:00 pm - “Green Carpet” Reception
7:00 pm - Student Competition Eco-Fashion Show
7:15 pm - Professional Eco-Fashion Show
7:30 pm - Cocktails and Winners Announced
9:30 pm - After Party at Counter Organic Wine and Martini
