Who said female empowerment!?
My fellows fashion enthusiasts I came across with an article that blew my mind. I was thrilled that fashion was used to touch people's lives. In Rio De Jaineiro, Brazil a government sponsored program take female "street workers" and instructed with techniques of sewing and design in order to give them career options besides being a prostitute. I think fell in love with fashion even more. Like I always said, it is not only about the glamour and the couture but about humanity and philanthropy.
I can't help to think about those ladies that went from being a prostitute to now a working fashion designer. It makes my day.

Here are some pictures of the fashion show that took place in the red light district in Rio.
That's a great project... it is inspiring. Hope our government does something like this in my country.

its incredible that fashion is being used to make the life of people that live in poverty better. its an amazing idea that could be used not just by the fashion industry, but from others too.
