Hold the Presses!

It looks like fashion is making a big splash here in Raleigh. Among the many events I've blogged about, I might be most excited about this one. Making eco-fashion staple Redress Raleigh more than a fashion show, organizers announced the creation of the Redress Eco-fashion & Textiles Conference. Taking place March 22-24, 2013 at the Raleigh Marriott City Center, it seems like a great opportunity to promote both shopping locally and as consciously as possible.

The purpose of the conference is to increase dialogue among boutique owners, designers, suppliers, and customers who have an interest in eco-fashion and textiles. Although conference panelists, scheduling, workshops and the marketplace vendors haven't been announced yet, this is an exciting step forward for fashion in the area.

Not only is Redress Raleigh working on a eco-fashion textiles conference, they're working on a fashion show for Halloween called Redress the Dead. Scheduled for October 27 in downtown Raleigh, it's exciting to see planned family friendly events featuring fashion. And for Halloween! Wonder what kind of fashion will stroll down the runway - costumes, or every day wear?

Speaking of...what are you wearing for Halloween? or are we all too grown up to dress up for a good ol' fashioned Halloween party?
