On Saturday 8 September Miranda Mullet organized the event that was strongly
supported by several Rotaracters (while it was not an official Rotaract event), Ying Ying, Chrystal, Ian, David and many others. It was great,
we started before lunch manning several booths, one was shared between Rotaract and myself (to promote my book Toxic Capitalism), others
included The Library Project (with whom Rotary and Rotaract work together), the people from Shangrila Farms, Jane Goodall roots&shoots and
many more. Later in the evening there were some presentations, by The Library Project, Vincent Rondia (from Belgium) and others, followed by a
special fashion show with… improvised models, making it an exciting and unusual catwalk. See the pictures I took during the day and during the
fashion show. It was held in Sanlitun Soho (Gongti Bei Lu, Beijing).

Laji (meaning trash in Chinese) is a public
event created to awaken minds and exchange ideas that challenge inefficiencies in manufacturing by promoting a natural cycle.
Laji Couture
brings people together that believe in:
– Sustainable infrastructure
– Sustainable economic and cultural development
– Environmental
responsibility
As the world develops and populations grow, more and more resources are being depleted. As consumers in the globalized market,
we have the opportunity to change this course of action, by being conscious consumers. In communities across the world we are seeing
sustainable fashion, art, food, and lifestyles on the rise. In the Beijing community, we are seeing similar trends as people become educated
about environmental problems.
We are giving different organizations and individuals the chance to showcase their ideas and creations. At our
daytime fair and evening gathering, our participants will use design and creativity to share their vision of sustainability and social
responsibility.
“Laji Couture serves as a platform for socially responsible businesses, designers & artists.”
