v has launched a virtual wardrobe, which is THE place for clothes to be seen this season, but to help make it a success, we need your help to get young people involved in this ethical and innovative project.
All participants need to do is: download a ‘customise your clothes’ pack from here. They can then use the hints and tips provided to help them customise an item of clothing. Finally, all they need to do is upload their item of clothing onto vinspired.com!
They can either show off their handiwork, or, we are offering the opportunity for each item to be auctioned online, with all proceeds going to a youth HIV charity Body & Soul. On top of this, the creation could also appear in v’s exclusive fashion show on 01 December 2008!
If you want to get people involved, why not organise a ‘customising clothes evening’ to help create clothes for the collection? It’s a great way to engage a group of young people in a fun activity whilst highlighting the implications of a ‘throw away’ society.
In addition to this, if you know of young people who are really keen on fashion, vcashpoint is back for a fifth round so why not encourage them to apply for up to £2,500 to run their own fashion project!
vcashpoint is the funding initiative for 16-25’s who want to set-up a voluntary project in their community. By providing grants of up to £2,500, vcashpoint can help turn ideas into reality.
Applications open on 24 November. More info on round 5 of vcashpoint will be coming soon…
Help us to make v’s initiatives a success – SPREAD THE WORD!
