DFD represents hundreds of international designers and the wider fashion community collectively banding together to show their commitment and solidarity towards ending the atrocity of genocide currently taking place in Darfur.
Event Highlights : There will be key members of the Save Darfur Coalition in attendance to inform and empower attendees on what individual actions each can take in order to assist in ending the genocide. Attendees may also participate in the video documentary “Prayers for Darfur”. There will be a designated filming area where attendees will have an opportunity to contribute video prayers addressed to the people of Darfur and/or messages to the United Nations/U.S. government. We will also be inviting attendees to sign DFD’s petition to the Chinese Consulate requesting they cease funding the Sudanese government which has allowed these atrocities to continue in Darfur.
