Nike has asked Nancy Wu to design a remix project for the brand. I have to say, the results disappoint me. Her illustrations and such are so adorable, but I can’t figure out how she came up with these. Gladiator sneakers… really? I don’t see how these serve a purpose, whether fashion or function wise. It looks like the pair of Goodwill sneakers I tried to make cutouts in a few years ago. FAIL.
Thanks Highsnobette!

Last Thursday Goodwill of Greater Washington hosted the Fashion of Goodwill runway show and silent auction at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Drawing on the influences of Parisian and modern styles, Alexandria-based designer Tu-Anh Nguyen styled the models with 70 outfits of clothing from Goodwill. Some vintage designer pieces even popped up in the mix of used clothing.
The third annual event, “Under Paris Skies,” not only showed the area’s women how to get a good deal, but also encouraged supporting Goodwill’s mission of educating and employing the disabled.
A nice gallery of the runway show is available at The Washington Post.
An ebay store for the DC Goodwill clothing is also up.
