Kenema & Co alongside Inspirational YOU present The First Lady.
In November 2010 Kenema & Co and Inspirational YOU are organising an alternative festive shopping experience called, 'The First Lady'. This must attend event will take place at the Queen of Hoxton, 1-5 Curtain Road, London EC2A 3JX, United Kingdom on Sunday 28th November.
This is an inclusive open house event that promotes and supports products, goods and services targeted at women.
Kenema & Co (www.kenemaco.com) design contemporary clothing using African fabrics made in Sierra Leone using the skills of tailors and seamstresses giving them fair pay for their work. They are also embarking on charitable projects in Sierra Leone in conjunction with the Fifty-Fifty Women's Group (www.fiftyfiftysl.com). At their last event Kenema & Co were able to raise funds to sponsor the education of two girls for a year.
Inspirational YOU (www.harmonyfoundation.co.uk) are a voluntary organisation that empowers and supports women and vulnerable young people. They work with women who are at a crossroads and want support and guidance changing their lives.
They are currently looking for up and coming designers to exhibit and sell at this event that represent a cross section of women from High Street to Couture including clothing, accessories, jewellery, home ware and beauty products. There will be live music performances, a beauty treatment by Minx nails (London Fashion week and Lilly Allen), guest speakers including a stylist who will be featured in next September’s Vogue magazine, a nutritional therapist and MUCH more.
This event will also assist them in fundraising to purchase a moped for district midwives to use to access remote parts of Sierra Leone to support women during childbirth and offer antenatal care.
The First Lady will be held at the
Queen of Hoxton, 1-5 Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3JX,
from 11am – 5pm on Sunday 28th November 2010.
Tickets £2.00 in advance

Hi all

I am undertaking a project entitled Shed Me Clothes, which is based on biomimetics (using nature for inspiration for design problems). I am in the process of developed a textile that can shed like a snake to eliminate the need to launder garments. The use phase of a garment is the most energy intensive, therefore eliminating the laundering phase energy will be saved. (Please see www.shedmeclothes.com

I am in the process of exploring what features determin how frequently a garment is laundered and what features ensure garments are never laundered. Please fill in my survey to help me find out:

http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=runyzjl5h3z100y78...

From this research I hope to design a series of garments that are designed not to be laundered and to be made in the Shed Me Clothes textile.

Thanking you,

Katie

We are from Pure Pod in Australia. We would love to be a part of this but we live too far away! Can you run the same program for international designers? We don't get this kind of support in Australia.

Harriet, I work with African women who work with unusual textiles from sustainable sources. I am very interested in the programme you highlight below but I am based outside of the Greater London area. Are there other programmes that can support folk like me?
