Now in its 4th year, FASHION FIGHTS POVERTY is Washington, DC’s fashion event of the year.
FFP is about action and promoting positive behavior. We are not telling people to stop shopping or where to shop. Rather, we are showing opportunities to do so responsibly, and in the process, engaging organizations and enterprises which use fashion, design and creativity as a means of addressing the most important issues of our time- POVERTY! Dedicated to raising awareness and funds for initiatives that encourage and support creative, effective, and sustainable means of challenging global poverty. FFP provides a forum for dialogue and partnerships between development organizations and the fashion community. Featured Designers: Kayce Armstrong Annatarian Adele Wechsler Eric Finn Mae
