about Charity Chic |

Charity Chic is an initiative of St Andrew’s and St George’s, the landmark city centre church. It aims to promote the importance of ethical and eco-friendly fashion and to demonstrate that constructive consumerism – clothes with conscience - can be chic
Charity Chic supports:
reducing exploitative clothing consumption through ethical, fair-trade and eco-friendly initiatives;
reusing clothing by supporting charity shops and by using vintage and second hand clothing for charity fundraising events;
recycling clothing by reworking it into new designs and uses

about the show |
|
The stylist is Kevin Stuart from Harvey Nichols. He will select clothes from the Edinburgh shops of the participating charities – Barnardo’s Scotland, Bethany Christian Trust, Oxfam and Shelter – and put together the looks for the catwalk.
Also involved are third year fashion students from Edinburgh College of Art and senior fashion students from Eco Schools in Edinburgh. The students will rework clothes bought in the participating charity shops to create ‘new’ designs. These will be judged by a professional panel and the winning outfits shown on the catwalk.
The show is supported by Harvey Nichols, with hair by Charlie Miller, make-up by Laura Mercier and professional models
This project is supported by the Edinburgh Council’s Waste Action Grant Programme
