Sustainable Fashion: One Black Dress for 365 Days

Starting May 2009, Sheena Matheiken pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. There were 7 identical dresses for each day in the week. And each day the dress was reinvented with accessories.

Why did she do this? She created The Uniform Project to launch a one-year fundraising effort to raise money for schoolchildren living in the slums of India. As of today, she’s raised $95,089, which is estimated to help 264 kids. It also makes a hell of a statement for sustainable fashion.
