In fact, this week puts the spotlight on earth-conscious apparel, thanks to the return of the annual <strong>Discarded to Divine</strong> gala and fashion show, where apparel and accessories made from cast-off clothing and textiles will be auctioned off to benefit the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco's many life-altering programs for those in need. Along with D2D, Wells Fargo hosts <strong>Transformations: A Fashion Showcase</strong>, featuring evening wear designs made using Goodwill donations by City College designers in collaboration with Turning Heads at-risk youth. There's also a grand re-opening for eco-friendly Noe Valley shop <strong>Loft 1513</strong>, a <strong>D.I.Y. nail night</strong> at Mira Mira, the latest <strong>Raw SF</strong> and many others.</p>]]></description>
