For this assignment I went to the Retail Revolution: A
Sustainable Fashion Show located in the Mellon Board Room, April 11, 2018 from
6pm-10pm, which was hosted by Alyson Finnerty (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyson-finnerty-214515159/)
, Holly Taylor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/holly-taylor-b05895160/)
, and Cierra Snyder (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cierra-snyder-4b516210b/)
. Before the event started they had a reception in which multiple small businesses
were featured. I did get there a little late because I had a class at eastside
before the event but I still got to walk around really quick and see all of the
little stands for each business.

Organizations that were featured at the Fashion Show:
- - Millie’s Homemade Ice Cream: Millie’s is an ice
cream shop that has multiple locations in the Pittsburgh area, they have around
10 locations
- - Center for Creative Reuse: a non-profit
organization that “inspires creativity, conservation, and community engagement
through reuse”, they operate three “non-traditional” art supply stores where
people can donate and buy art supplies
- - Parkhurst: They provided food and made amazing
mocktails
- - Wildflower Rising Jewelry: student at Chatham
that makes their own jewelry
- - Bottlethread: Chatham alum who makes business
casual shirts out of plastic water bottles
- - Jody beauty: Chatham student in charge of doing
the makeup for the models wearing the sustainable designs
This Fashion show was organized to talk about the harmful
effects of the fashion industry and how we can avoid contributing to that
pollution. In the Show they showcased different eco friendly outfits, modeled
by students and the students that organized this event. I compared this even to
an article that I found on The Wall Street Journal about team work called, “Teamwork
Raises Everyone’s Game”. This article talks about the importance of teamwork
and how it can help expand your knowledge and ideas. The fashion show was put
together by a group of female students at Chatham and they brought several
businesses into the event to make it work right. “ suggests that the way people
work together is important for an endeavor's success”. Teamwork is really the
backbone of any kind of business and it is essential to succeed in life.
