fffashion: 2nd Annual Fur Free Fashion Competition
Entries to this competition closed on April 1, 2010, and winners will be announced in September 2010.
Independent designers are invited to enter their fur free fashions for a chance to win cash prizes, boost their fashion careers, and help promote the ethical and environmental benefits of foregoing fur fashion.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for emerging fashion designers to showcase their talent and contribute to a worthy cause.
Top entries will be judged and winners selected by Sophie Uliano, green living guru and author of New York Times Bestseller Gorgeously Green; Summer Rayne Oaks, eco-model, activist, spokesperson, and resident expert for Discovery Network's Planet Green; and Brita Belli, editor of E / The Environmental Magazine. Josh Dorfman, author and television host whose TV series The Lazy Environmentalist airs on Sundance Channel's The Green, joins us as a judge to select the winner of "The Green Award."
