A Special Sustainability Event That Inspires
DFSA is joining Mantra Yoga Collective’s The Retreat for a special collaborative community event on Thursday, October 24 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at The Retreat studio located at 3300 W. Anderson Ln., Suite 300, Austin, TX 78757.
Celebrate with us on International Day of Climate Action and will include a ‘Clear Your Closet, Clear Your Energy’ panel discussion that highlights ways to contribute to the sustainability movement through a fashion lens featuring Dress for Success Austin’s Executive Director Mia Johns and Sara Stewart Stevens, Academic Program Director and Assistant Professor of Practice for the Division of Textiles and Apparel at the University of Texas at Austin.
Our partnership features The Rack of Impact, a curated collection of gently worn premium yoga and fitness apparel from Dress for Success Austin where proceeds fund the six workforce development programs which support Central Texas women, and promotes sustainability in the fashion industry. The event will also include food donated by El Dorado Cafe, Bogle Family Vineyards wine, card readings, Reiki sessions from energy healer Tiffany Fede, and a donation-based Yin Yoga class at 7:15pm with Kaitlyn Campbell.
“Dress for Success Austin is excited to partner with The Retreat who is hosting a fitness resale rack where the proceeds benefit our mission and support our workforce development programs,“ says Johns. “This community partnership not only empowers women in their careers, but brings awareness to the sustainability benefits of shopping resale.”
Dress for Success Austin saves an estimated 26,000 pounds of CO2 and 118,000 gallons of water annually through consignment programs including The Rack of Impact at The Retreat.
