The Uniform Project

A friend recently pointed me in the direction of a really cool and innovative woman who is raising money through a unique fashion idea and has a website which is “www.theuniformproject.com”. The mastermind of this fashion project is a lady named Sheena who is of South Asian heritage just like myself. She has decided to wear the same black dress (with several duplicates of the same dress) for 365 days in different ways each day. With her goal of raising money for a non-profit called “Akanksha” which helps children in poverty to obtain quality education in India she has been wearing the same dress each day for several months. She adds all sorts of fun and funky accessories to her dress and takes a picture each day which she adds to her website for viewers to make comments on her fashion statement of the day and for people to make donations. So far she has made close to $25,000 for this charitable cause and has created hundreds of looks with scarves, necklaces, bracelets and all sorts of shoes. I am really impressed with her ambition to help this charity and her wild sense of fashion and cutting edge idea to mesh fashion with helping humanity.

Make sure to visit her website and look at her pictures, she is totally adorable :)

  1. Have visited the website already and I agree the photo’s are great as is the project.

  2. The best part is that the money goes to charity and she keeps on collecting funds for her creative idea.
