Fairtrade Fashion Show 2006
Aberfeldy, Scotlands’ pioneering and 1st Fairtrade town will host its annual fashion show on the 20 October during One World Week 2006 whose slogan for this year is “Mind the Gap”. This aims to highlight the global gap between the rich and the poor, the local gap of inequality and discrimination and individually to care for the earth and its resources, writes Julie Riddell.
The annual show, which is once again to be held in Breadalbane Academ, is run by the Aberfeldy Fair Trade group in collaboration with the Art and Design department at Breadalbane Academy is a diary date not to be missed.
Chris Walls and Matt Mackie from the Black Watch Inn in Aberfeldy have kindly agreed to return to introduce the diverse range of fashion wear and accessories on the as well as entertain the huge audience.
