CATWALKS FOR WATER
During the month of April 2011, Aveda's Earth Month Campaign held events worldwide to raise
$4 millon for protection of clean water, a basic human right that nearly 900
million people globally are left fighting for daily. Inspired by Aveda's
participation in New York Fashion Week, O'Briens Aveda Institute created an eco-fashion show to raise funds and awareness in support of this goal.
Students designed head to toe elemental (fire, water, earth & wind) looks using environmentally friendly and repurposed materials. Beauty looks were created using Aveda's
plant derived hair care, skin care and make up products. In 2011 we raised $1,000 for our local Lake Champlain Committee.
