I am not a very fashionable person, but have always found the industry fascinating. Recently I found it to be very impressive. Designers for Darfur is a group of sponsors, including the Save Darfur Coalition and Ebay, that are donating 100 percent of the profits to help put an end to the crisis in Darfur.
On Feb. 9, there was a fashion show that demonstrated specially designed clothes in red, green, yellow, black and any other color related to Africa. The clothes are now being auctioned off on Ebay. I think the clothes are GORGEOUS! New York Magazine has a posted slide show of the clothes as well.
To get in touch with Designers for Darfur you can visit their website. Also, as pictured above, you can check out their MySpace. I’d like to point out how MySpace can be a great website. So many people are so quick to judge the website and say it takes away people’s privacy. But I think it is important in instances like this to see how beneficial it can be! Their MySpace gives people information about the show, where to go to get the clothes and how much press coverage the show got.
