Win Tickets to the Afingo Fashion Forum, April 1: Sustainability and Philanthropy in Fashion

The Afingo Fashion Forum takes place this Friday, April 1, at FIT. Along with a number of sessions (see the whole listing here), running from 9am (registration open) to 5pm, I will be speaking on the panel below at 11am. (Other features include a convo with Cynthia Rowley and a sesions on “Ready to Launch My Line” and “Social Media and Publicity”).

I would love to see Eco Chick friends and readers there! (See bottom of post for how you can win tickets to the event.)
Location: Katie Murphy Ampitheatre, FIT (Building D)

SUSTAINABILITY + PHILANTHROPY:
Fashion specialists examine the balance of incorporating eco-friendly and socially-responsible initiatives into the fashion business, finding new ways to be “green” and philanthropic without sacrificing style — or the bottom line.
