Fashion Takes Action

We all know that bottled water is bad for the environment along with other forms of plastic or wasteful material. Aside from items that we consume, did you ever stop to think about how items that we wear can be detrimental to our surroundings?

Fashion Takes Action, ("FTA") is a Toronto based company with a mandate to inform the public about where clothing comes from, how it's made and the environmental cost associated with its production.

To coincide with Earth Day, FTA will be launching tonight with a HUGE party targeting hip, style conscience Torontonians at the legendary Burroughes Building penthouse lofts, known for housing trendy, cultural and often late night parties.

Several of Toronto's most buzzed about DJ's will be providing the soundtrack for the night, including ANDY CAPP, DIRTY DALE, and BRENDAN CANNING.

Andy Capp is the founder of "Bang The Party" one of Toronto's most loved party nights and is also the co-creator of the popular MOTOWN night. Check out one of his mixes here if you want to feel good and dance dance dance!

Dirty Dale is one of Toronto's most eminent DJ's who has been busting out the deep house sound for over 15 years - mmm gotta love good house music! Thanks DD!

Brendan Canning is the co-founder of what is arguably Toronto's most influential indie rock band of the last decade, Broken Social Scene. Aside from being a talented musician, he also has an impeccable record collection and will be sure to play some funky gems tonight!

There will also be a fashion show from Ryerson students featuring clothing made out of recyclable material and an OPEN BAR featuring organic beer from Mill Street and other delicious, good for you and good for the environment beverages.

Tickets are $40 ($30 if you're a student) and can be purchased at the FTA website. Limited $50 tickets will be available at the door.

I'll be wearing GREEN and look forward to seeing you tonight!!
