Uniform project

A couple of days ago I came across “The Uniform Project” a wonderful project, for a good cause. The best of it, in my perspective, is the way it challenges the creativity…

The Idea:

Starting May 2009, I have pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. Here’s how it works: There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies. Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade’s boudoir.

The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India.

Visit the blog and see for yourselves… it’s amazing what you can do with the same dress, only using diferent accessories and your imagination!

Love, love this project!
