“It is my intention for everyone that came Sunday left with more knowledge on how to be more environmentally conscious with our landfills through creative ways of redesigning, re-using and re-styling their old clothing.” -Gina Constanza,organizer

On Sunday I attended Eco Fashion in the Park, an eco-fashion show organized by Gina Constanza of House of Glam with Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez in High Bridge Park in Washington Heights, NY. There was also live painting by my friend and former art school classmate Marthalicia Matarrita.

It was great to see the Latino community, eco-fashion designers of color and everyday New Yorkers represented at the show. I even got to go behind the scenes and no worries, I took plenty of pics for you!

Here’s some video and there are more pics on our So Fresh And So Green facebook page.

The 11 independent designers who showcased their eco-friendly designers were:
Karina Fernández (10yrs old)
Lissy Gómez from LVG Designs
Iliana Quander from amparo 3
Miriam Guerrero from Original Wear
Marlissa Macario
Wendel Johnston
Bridget Artise from Born Again Vintage
Lajuanda Moody
Sandra Baquero
Ana Segura
