It was a pleasure to take part in Fashion Takes Action's Green Gala in Toronto's historic Distillery district. This year's theme was "Midnight in the Garden" where Fashion Television host Mary Kitchen is seen modeling Aime! She loved the dress so much that I gave it to her. She is also wearing my corsage Samsung Cleo cellphone wristlet that was auctioned off. The audience texted in to vote the best accessory where I initially tied with Evan Biddell of Project Runway fame.
The Fashion Television cameras came by the studio the day earlier to film a segment. It'll air in the new year, so be on the look out! Thanks Kelly Drennan (FTA Founder) and Sarah Jay (stylist extraordinaire) for asking me to participate at this wonderful event to support Environmental Defense.
It was a glamourous evening which proves that you can be environmentally conscious, socially aware, and still be luxurious and fashionable at the same time which is my goal for Aime! Currently, I only use all-natural fibres that is biodegradable; however, after this fabulous event, I have decided to also use sustainable fibres such as bamboo and lyocell in my upcoming collection.
