Looking for ways to get your students more involved with the ethical fashion movement?
Check out People & Planet’s Wear Fair fashion show competition:
“People and Planet are holding a national competition for student groups who put on a Fairtrade Cotton fashion show to launch the Wear Fair campaign at their school or college. The group who organise the best show will win a bundle of clothes by cutting edge ethical designer Annie Greenabelle. They will also have the opportunity to meet a Fairtrade producer so they can hear first hand about the positive impact of their campaigning in their school or college.
Each Fair Trade fashion show entered into the competition will be judged by how well it succeeds in three areas:
- How inspiring and creative the show is
- How well the show describes Fairtrade cotton
- How successfully the show is used to gain support for the Wear Fair campaign
For further information and to enter please see the People and Planet website.” (FEI)
