The United Nations General Assembly declared 2010 the International Year of Biodiversity inviting governments, international organisations and other actors to bring greater international attention to the continued loss of biodiversity and to raise awareness of the repercussions for sustainable development.
This event was organized in connection with the United Nations 2010 International Year of Biodiversity. It began with a high-profile business seminar and concluded with an "EcoChic" fashion show and exhibition launch celebrating sustainable fashion and accessories.
Over 50 looks were donated by designers from around the world, including the renowned figures Diane Von Furstenberg, Manish Arora, Bora Aksu, and Thakoon. In addition, established "sustainable" fashion labels such as Edun, Noir, Ciel, and Kumvana Gomani contributed garments and accessories from their latest collection.
