The artist Tristin Lowe’s reminder of the plight of African elephantsElephant in the Room NY Times
New York Fashion Week is in full swwing. You can track all the spring 2015 designer collections on Vogue.com and Style.com. Some of the most innovative designers will be showing at Milk Studios in West Chelsea, home to 15 runway shows and the giant pink elephant in the room.
The inflatable 10-foot-tall elephant, designed by the artist Tristin Lowe, is part of a collaboration between Made Fashion Week and the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation to raise awareness about the Clintons’ latest cause: ivory trafficking and the killing of African elephants.
“We have about 15,000 people flowing through the doors this week,” said Keith Baptista, a managing partner at Made Fashion Week.
The Clintons hope — as does AOC — that among the 15,000 people, including top fashion models, a select group of AOC Smart Sensuallity types, will help to spread the dire priority of saving the world’s elephants.
The Clinton Global Initiative has joined forces with other organization in a Partnership to Save Africa’s Elephants.
