SF Fashion Events: Discarded to Divine, D.I.Y. Nail Night + More

Earth Day may be officially in the rear view, but don’t expect the San Francisco love for eco-friendly fashion to fade. In fact, this week puts the spotlight on earth-conscious apparel, thanks to the return of the annual Discarded to Divine 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 Transformations: A Fashion Showcase, 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 Loft 1513, a D.I.Y. nail night at Mira Mira, the latest Raw SF and many others.

We’re adding new fashion happenings all the time. Find details on these and other upcoming San Francisco fashion events waiting on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.
