A Fashion Show and Gala to Benefit Women with MicroFinancing

Executive Producers: Jody Weiss and Hannah Laufer-Rottman
Producer: Kate Priest (for bio please click here)

Organized by Palms for Life Fund and PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics, Fashion for Life will launch its first annual event in Fall of 2008. Featuring the works of top designers along with fashions from fair-trade cooperatives across the globe, the event will raise funds to support income-generating projects through micro-credit. Benefiting women who have little or no economic options, micro-credit will enable these women to become self-sufficient, support their goals of becoming self-employed and bring themselves, their families, and even their communities out of poverty.

Micro-credit provides small loans (often as small as $100.00) at minimal interest rates to those living in poverty, enabling them to set up profitable businesses that generate enough income to lift themselves out of poverty. As businesses grow and thrive, financial support is provided, including savings, training, and peer support. (To read more about micro-credit, click here.)

Fashion for Life will attract most esteemed fashion designers who will provide pieces to be worn on the runway. Those in attendance will have an opportunity to bid on these designers and fair-trade pieces, in addition to becoming more knowledgeable on the issues of poverty and how small loans are true life savers for thousands of poor people worldwide.

This annual event will provide the world of fashion with a unique opportunity: to become a life saver for poor women around the globe and help raise the social consciousness within the fashion industry.
