Our friend Monihan shot us this link to the Uniform Project and it is pretty darn interesting. A woman has pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion -- she began the project in May 2009. Here’s how it works: She has 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day she reinvents the dress with layers and accessories, the majority of which are vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies.
The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Ankasha 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 children living in Indian slums.
The Uniform Project has already raised over $52,000! Not bad, eh?
