Fashion Kids for Children in Crisis


Fashion Kids for Children in Crisis

On the occasion of  Milano Moda Donna, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana will celebrate its commitment in defending children’s right by organizing a show in support of two projects created by Children in Crisis Onlus.

The association, born in Italy in 1999, has the aim to promote infantile education in different countries of  the world, and has been active in Italy since 2008 with the “Project Pepita”, that foresees the creation of a permanent children orchestra in the city of Milano, so to offer children coming from less fortunate parts of the town the opportunity to do music and overcome school drop outs.

Also present in Tanzania, Children in Crisis Onlus promotes feminine education through the project “On the side of young girls”, aimed at offering scholarships to 80 young girls that, have completed primary school, and don’t have access to secondary school due to financial difficulties.

The backstage of this initiative will be the new “Duomo” hall, that on Tuesday September 27th at 6.00 pm, during Milano Moda Donna, (http://www.cameramoda.it/mmd/) will host “Fashion Kids”, a show whose participants, with the collection autumn/winter 2011-2012 are: GF Gianfranco Ferrè, Richmond Junior, Roberto Cavalli Angels, Devils, Fay Junior, Laura Biagiotti Dolls, Ermanno Scervino Junior, Miss Blumarine, Simonetta, I Pinco Pallino.

The casting of the show is taken care by Vogue Children, official partner of the initiative, that will invite mothers and children to spend an afternoon in a location that will be disclosed in September 2011, where on Saturday September 17th, from 2 to 7.30 pm it will be possible to play make believe you are a model for a day.
