'Hello, sweet peas! Last Saturday (July 16, 2016) Moe and I went to the FAIR TRADE FASHION SHOW FUNDRAISER, in Downtown Los Angeles. It was such a humbling and educational experience. I always supported fair trade and sustainable companies (clothing, food, etc.) when I could, but being emerged in this environment really touched my heart. I’m not perfect. I love shopping. Items may have a price tag that makes me go “EEEP!”, at first. But the thought behind it is what gears me to make that purchase. About 75% of my wardrobe comes from vintage, second-hand and charity shops. I donate clothes four times a year. I know I can do better. And I will by learning better practices. Below is information gathered from http://www.fairtradefashionshow.com. All the companies featured are sustainable, fair trade, cruelty-free, vegan and founded by women! I hope you enjoy this video as much as we loved filming it! Filmed by Katie Lee Roque + David Mone. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Bead + Reel http://www.beadandreel.com The Peace Exchange http://www.thepeaceexchange.com \"The Fair Trade Fashion Show was born as a way to redefine the aesthetic of Fair Trade Fashion while supporting female artisans around the world. Hosted by Sica Schmitz (founder of online vegan boutique Bead & Reel) and Katie Bond (founder of sustainable fair trade nonprofit The Peace Exchange), this year\'s pioneering fundraiser goes to the women of The Peace Exchange’s non-profit sewing centers in the Congo. The evening focuses on telling global artisans’ stories through a one-of-a-kind event celebrating fashion and filmmaking as vehicles for supporting women in marginalized communities. Along with an informative panel and plant based food and drink, this exclusive Bead & Reel fashion show tells a story about how fashion can be a tool for empowering both the women who make and the women who wear fair trade fashion.” OH!!!
