Redress Raleigh is almost here!

The second annual Redress Raleigh fashion show will highlight "innovative concepts from local designers whose collections consider the human impact of fashion on our environment." Organizers Mor Aframian, Jamie Powell and Beth Stewart will present 15 designers' interpretations of reinventing the fashion world at 7pm on Saturday, April 17, 2010, at Flanders Art Gallery.

The show will be held as part of Raleigh's Planet Earth Celebration, hosted by Burt’s Bees and the Museum of Natural Sciences. Redress and charity partner MorLove will also have a booth at the Green Bazaar, on the Bicentennial Plaza from 11am to 5pm. Proceeds from the sale of locally-designed and handmade items at the RR/MorLove booth will be donated to the Amani Baby Cottage, an orphanage in Jinja, Uganda, near the shores of Lake Victoria.

Take a peek into the eco-friendly side of the fashion world. Check out the Redress Raleigh site for one of the very few remaining tickets to the show. Standing tickets will be available at the door.
