And we’re off! The first meeting held, the fair-trade chocolate scoffed, wine and smoothies supped, and FRONT ROW 2008 is set to go.

Building on the success of last year's sell-out ethical fashion show from the Hastings Environment Network, So Far Sew Good are taking the reins to create an inspirational style extravaganza this Autumn. Showcasing the very best in local design, and with an ethical heart, the aim is to promote local individuality and innovation in clothing.

With an eye on the future we all know that things have to change as the fashion industry finds its conscience. With organic materials, fair trade practices and locally produced garments gaining credence, there has never been a better time to rally forth and take on the challenge.

Positive impact clothing shown on the catwalk which is fun to wear!

Sound like your type of event? Sign up now! We are scouting for models - first casting session will be 12th July - you’ll work to a specially choreographed catwalk routine. Local designers, show your wares and join us! We are after front of house volunteers too.

The big night is 19^th September followed by a Fashion Trade Fair on 20^th September 2008. The beautiful venue: St Mary’s in the Castle, Sea Front, Hastings. The Fair will be an exclusive South Coast shopping experience, with boutique style and elegance and some surprise touches that will be revealed as we draw nearer the big day.

News just in - our first funding bid has been successful - congrats Maika!! - so we are on a roll!

Bye for now

FRONT ROW xx
