and counsels other designers and fashion characters about the benefits of
"going organic", as well as developing strategies to promote and
produce green and eco friendly products.

Technology in Las Vegas and will be giving her students a chance to gain
"real world" experience in fashion as they work in the show as
fashion dressers and hair and make-up artists as well as the fashion direction,
the stylish and other fields.
Some of the exhibitors of

of these are Small Axe Clothing, Earth Creations, Happy Bee, Bacche, Neuaura
Shoes, and others.
Szkiba O'Connor's connections with many cruelty-free and eco-friendly fashion companies will contribute with the students’ opportunity to develop an eager sense of their future in the fashion industry and their possibilities as ecological designers. The fabrics used were either donated from eco friendly companies as Green Textile from South Carolina, Sommers, Inc. of New Jersey or recycled from remnants, which otherwise would have been ended up in trash deposits.
