The Uniform Project

The ultimate in sustainable fashion would be having only one outfit, right? The Uniform Project takes on the challenge by having one woman wear the same dress 365 days in a row. It helps that the woman is extremely attractive and very crafty - she manages to look different every day through the use of accessories - most donated or found at thrift stores, eBay and etsy - keeping with her sustainable intentions.

The dress was specially designed for the project. It was sewn to be worn frontward, backward, and as a jacket (of sorts).

The site calls attention to the Akanksha School Project in Mumbia. The charity was started by college students in India who want to change the 80% dropout rate within their country. The Akanksha Project has been in effect for 15 years and now has the backing of the Indian government because alumni have achieved better results than the public school children.
