Here are the details for the Fashion Forward Gala. It is a night to raise money for ECO fashion week, and a chance for us to introduce ourselves. We as designers and entrepreneurs that have joined forces to bring you the very best and very exciting earth friendly combination. Fashion that is environmentally conscious and also completely chic!! I encourage you to show your support and join us in attendance!
Everything at the kdon studio has turned itself upside down and inside out. And its all for the best! 
I would like to take this opportunity and announce that I have decided to commit the rest of my design career to help save the planet, reduce emissions, and create products that are sustainable, moral and useful. My new line of clothing and products is called kim cathers. elements. This line is made entirely out of recycled fabric, provided by Our Social Fabric and is constructed locally.
I would like to cordially invite you to see a sneak peek of this new line at a fundraising gala event called Eco Fashion Forward. Eco Fashion Forward is raising dollars to help launch Eco Fashion Week in Vancouver in April 2010. I will be revealing my new line to the public at then, and am very very excited to do so. This beautiful planet depends on people making earth conscious decisions in every aspect of life, and while we maybe can’t do it all, there are ways each one of us can contribute. Please show your support and buy tickets for the Eco Fashion Forward gala here.

More about Our Social Fabric
Textiles are one the most common household items and represent a staggering proportion of the solid waste stream: approximately 16kg per person, or a total of 33,600 tonnes in Metro Vancouver in 2006, to give you an idea. Despite the volume of this waste, few options exist to reuse or recycle salvageable textile items – and next to none for those items that can not be resold. As a result, these textiles end their still-functional lives in the landfill or waste-to-energy incinerator.
Our Social Fabric believes that this unnecessary waste can be not only be avoided, but channeled to create positive change in Vancouver’s most impoverished neighborhood. Aside from the obvious benefits of reducing the waste we are diverting to landfills and waste-to-energy facilities, textile recycling can have a direct impact on the socio-economic viability of the downtown east side. Jobs are needed now, and OSF goal is to recycle donated and salvaged textiles into new products, from clothing to utility products.
This unique venture not only benefits the environment but the economy and all citizens of our community. Learn more at oursocialfabric.org
