Event Details
☕️ Climate Cafe
When: Thu, Sep 7th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Where: Neighbor, 176 9th Avenue, New York, NY
Climate Cafes represent an opportunity to discuss difficult emotions that arise out of the climate crisis - everything from anxiety, fear, dread, hopelessness, and anger - in a supportive environment of peers. Climate Cafes are non-clinical, non-directive spaces where attendees can hold space for each others’ emotions without trying to fix other people. At it’s core, it can be meaningful to spend time with others who feel the same way.
🧶 Walk Your Values: A NYFW Vintage Runway Show
When: Thu, Sep 7th from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Where: 148 Frost Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 United States
Join Remake, Most Wanted Luxury Resale, and Deals On Designers for a ‘sip n shop’ showcase featuring exclusive collections of designer and pre-loved pieces. Enjoy a cocktail, browse stunning vintage pieces, and spend the evening with NYC’s ethical fashion community.
🪡 NTA x Sustainable Baddie x NYFW
When: Sat, Sep 9th from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Where: 202 Plymouth Street, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY
Join us for an afternoon of sustainable fashion brought to you by an exhibit from: Natalia Trevino Amaro, Noe Dresses by Noemie Jouas, Vaed by Veronica Arroyo, Atelier Vendetta, Cool Girl Clothes co., Meta Vocus, and Spilt Milk with jewelry by Blue Bone Jewelry. Rather than a runway, we will be hosting an exhibition where the audience can walk through the models and be able to see the clothes up close. There will also be a pop-up from each of the exhibiting designers for you to shop. Come make friends, join the sustainable fashion community, discover new designers, and support their independent brands.
