Denver, CO- Take a moment to imagine what our world will look like if we do nothing to stop global climate change. Or overfishing. Or mass animal die-offs. The essential question, of course, is–what are we going to wear?!
Fashion Denver and Warm Cookies of the Revolution are teaming up for the Eco-Disaster Fashion Show happening Wednesday, February 25th from 6:00-8:00pm at The McNichols Building, 144 W Colfax. The “Eco-Fashion Disaster Show” will showcase the innovative and cutting-edge fashion for our ecological future as imagined by 7 Colorado designers. This event is free and open to the public.
These 7 designers have been challenged to imagine a new way of life in a world that may not be that far away. This thought-provoking fashion show will take you through a creative, imaginative and possibly political ride of how the designers envision the future of our earth. Hair and makeup will be done by Studio Salon, 3 Little Birds Salon and Rebelle by Tootsies.
Although the night will revolve around the fashion show, there will also be an ‘eco-fashion mingler,’ where the public will be able to meet the designers and different environmental groups as well as have a chance to converse about the issues involving our environment. Deb Henriksen, brains behind Equillibrium, will briefly discuss the impacts of extreme climate change and the impacts it has on consumer behavior and Ietef Vita (DJ Cavem) will discuss the commercial farming industry, alternative energy and eating and gardening.
