The event will take place Saturday, June 19t from 6 - 8pm, and it’s free and open to the public. It’ll be fun, and it’ll make you feel phantastic about Philly’s commitment to the environment.
Not so with Philly's own SA VA, an affordable, stylish, and yes, green fashion label and retailer, whose 17th and Sansom Street outpost opened almost a year ago. The store features CEO Sarah Van Aken's ready-to-wear apparel, custom jewelry, and both local and fair trade accessories, most of which are produced here in the Philly area. Plus, Van Aken created twenty area manufacturing jobs simply by hiring and training a team of local seamstresses and tailors to work in the loft above her Sansom showroom. Cool!
Aside from SA VA's commitment to the environment, Van Aken also wanted her company to involve customers in the design process. There's an interactive website that allows you to try your hand—er, mouse—at the design process by contributing tear sheets of what you want your clothes to look like, as well as a blog that can help you answer all of your most dire fashion questions.
