Next Wednesday, September 26th. Fashion Takes Action will be presenting an Eco-Couture Gala and Benefit. It will feature designers David Dixon, Thien Le, Pat McDonagh, Sarah Nicol, Juma, Damzels in this Dress, Annie Thompson, Farley Chatto, Rosa Costanzo and Ula Zukowska as they present their latest eco-friendly collections.

For the event, each designer was supplied with fabrics that were dyed with low-impact dyes, pesticide-free, biodegradable and organic — think bamboo, soy, hemp and organic cotton!

The fabric was generously donated by SYKA Textiles and the event is sponsored by EnWise Power Solutions.

The green fun doesn’t end at the fashion show! There will be organic beer from Mill Street Brewery; organic wine via Frogpond Winery; vegetarian, local organic food from en Ville Catering; and there will be eco-décor  from by Eco Flora.

Everything will served on biodegradable plates, napkins, cutlery donated by Green Shift. (They are donated eco-toilet paper too!) There will also be a hybrid shuttle service available from Broadview Station, courtesy of Green Limousine.

Did I mention the jazz performance by Linda Skye?
