Yes, fashion can save the world.

Given the scope of the damage left by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda, it's pretty admirable to see so many people sharing their individual talents and skill sets to come up with ways to help out those who were directly affected. I've seen businesses, artists, and lots of people in between roll up their sleeves (both literally and figuratively) and help out with relief. A clear sign that the good old spirit of bayanihan is alive and kicking in these parts.


The latest effort I'm sharing with you today comes from the world of fashion. In the wake of such disasters to affect a certain area, a lot of clothing gets donated. The thing is, not all clothes are seen to be appropriate for everyday use, especially for people who just got through a natural disaster. Fortunately, the Philippine Red Cross found a way to put those clothes to good use, through a pretty neat fundraiser called Aid Couture.




Old clothes previously donated will be washed, styled, and sold to the public, and proceeds raised from the sales will go towards getting vital supplies for the typhoon victims.



A whole lot of clothes will be up for grabs! Think about it like going thrift-shopping for a totally noble cause. So if you're in the mood to shop this weekend, head out to Alabang Town Center on November 16 and 17!
