Slow Fashion Movement

I am co-producing a major ECO FASHION WEEK runway event during New York Fashion Week in September 2011. Slow Fashion is the couture end of the broader ECO FASHION and sustainability trends. We are working with major global sponsors, along with the CFDA, and want to begin building a network here in New York. We are interested in building a network of designers, stylists, sources, and workshops. This meet-up is to inform, exchange ideas, and offer advice on the opportunities in this important movement.
