#threadxthread

About last night - amazing to attend #riseforwater - thanks for the invite @peaceflaghouse! Hosted by @raycivello to benefit @wateraidcanada. Fashion designers competed in the #threadxthread challenge hosted by @mpellierfashion to honour @earthmonthca. And guess who sent a beautiful design down the runway?! My favourite @peggysuecollection (I'm pretty sure I've featured her here about 6 times now ha!) ❇️what's your favourite charitable event to attend? I love supporting an important cause ✅ Did you know? Girls and women around the world spend millions of hours and walk thousands of kilometres every year to find and fetch water. When a community is given access to a clean, safe water source, it empowers girls to better pursue their education, makes household management easier for women and smallholder farmers, and reduces waterborne disease, making life easier and healthier. Just think of that next time you turn on the tap 💧#waterforall #waterjustice #safewater #waterrights . . . . #sustainable #consciousculture #liveauthentic #seekthesimplicity #Sasstainable #thatsdarling #ecofriendly #ecoblogger #purposefulliving #consciousconsumer #toronto #sasstainableTO #yyz #6ixgrams #torontoigers #ethicalindex #ethicalinfluencernetwork #philanthropy #fashion (at Daniels Spectrum)

Join us for a night of inspiration, creativity and giving back. Ten of the industry’s most recognized artists will take the stage to showcase hair and fashion inspired by water and created from earth-friendly materials. Witness creativity at its best, as 25 of Toronto’s new designers create a couture fashion piece made solely from Thread - a fabric made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. Designers will partner with Aveda artists to compete in the Mont Pellier "Thread by Thread" Designer Challenge in a Catwalk for Water. Together, they will create a movement and aim to raise $50,000 for WaterAid Canada. • #threadxthread #riseforwater #groundtogood #toronto #JONRIOSA
