For those of you in New York, there’s a fantastic event coming up on Sunday February 12th: Swap-o-Rama-Rama. Come trade clothing, recycle materials, and learn how to make hot do-it-yourself pieces.
Best of all, my good friend Kate Goldwater, creator of AuH20 designs, will be featuring her recylced clothing in a fashion show at the event — and I’ll be modelling in it (because at 5’3″, I have the perfect model physique). It’ll be a great feminist, environmentally-friendly event, and I’d encourage all of you to come if you can. The event is being held at Galapagos, 70 North 6th (btwn Wythe and Kent) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (L train to Bedford, 2 blocks). Come with a bag of unwanted clothing and go home with all the clothes you can carry. All extra clothing will be donated to a local shelter. The event goes from 2-7, and includes workshops, a comedian, vegan food, and the AuH2O Designs fashion show. Hope you all can make it!
