I am going to be designing wearable art for Fashion for Freedom, an event put on by Poiema Productions to raise funds and awareness for The A21 Campaign.

Poiema is looking for designers and artists to create wearable clothing out of unconventional materials to walk the runway at Fashion for Freedom.

ABOUT FASHION FOR FREEDOM & A21:

Fashion for Freedom is a fundraising event put on by Poiema Productions and promises to be a night of highly creative fashion. It will be an opportunity for you to bring your most artistic, avant-garde, found object collections to the stage for an important cause.

The A21 Campaign stands for abolishing injustice in the 21^st century. They help rescue and provide the victims of human trafficking with a safe and comforting environment, access to medical and psychological care, vocational training, secondary education assistance, counseling and access to legal assistance.

This is an effort Poiema Productions are passionately supporting as it is an issue that impacts not only our global neighborhood, but our own province and city.

HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF FASHION FOR FREEDOM:

Designers:

Each designer will need to create one piece in each of the two categories. All pieces must be completely created from found objects, no fabrics will be allowed;

Example materials: newspaper, garbage bags, fishnet, etc.

AVANT-GARDE

We are looking for an open, limitless style. The models will be wearing black garments to accompany the piece on the runway.

RAW COUTURE

This will be a complete head to toe gown or suit.
