eco-fashion's night out TONIGHT!

Dearest friends,

I'm participating in this great event on Friday night as part of NYC's Fashion's Night Out.

I'll be a part of a PANEL DISCUSSION on putting sustainability in fashion into the hands of the consumer (not just the designer), and I'll be selling my NEW FALL COLLECTION plus some spring stuff at clearance prices.

Also there will be workshops, drinks and music, so come on out if you're looking for something both fun and fulfilling to do that night!

Love,
Mociun
