Connect Beauty

On November 18th, Fashion Takes Action co-hosted the Connect Beauty event with the Women's Healthy Environments Network. The event was at the buzzing Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto, and was a great success for highlighting all the ways women can express their beauty without using products or wearing clothes that are toxic to their bodies or the planet.

The 2008 Sustainable Style Show

This landmark event raised consumer awareness around fairly traded, locally and ethically produced products, as well as those made from sustainable materials. With the rise of environmental consciousness, we have witnessed an increased effort to make smarter shopping choices, yet "greenwashing" has created confusion around what is truly sustainable.

The 2008 Green Gala

The 2008 Green Gala once again featured 10 of Canada's top fashion designers, each working with sustainable fabrics to create three stunning garments.

The 2007 Green Gala

The inaugural Green Gala was held at Evergreen Brick Works and was the first green fashion event to feature 10 of Canada's top designers working with sustainable fabrics. It was also the first fashion show of this scale to feature a sod runway, LED lighting, and clean energy. Thus Canada's greenest fashion event was born.
