October 18, 2009 marked the special day of Fashion for Hope. Inner Expressions and Women for Women International came together for a must see event. Fashion For Hope was created with the vision of helping others. Inner Expressions goal was to bring awareness and raise financial support for WFWI through this wonderful event.

Fashion For Hope showcased fashions by up and coming designers. This event will began with a Fashion Show complete with a professional runway, lighting, appropriately inspiring and motivating music, and models who volunteered their time. This fashion showcase will highlighted designers on skills and creativity. Through this wonderful showcase they did not lose sight of the purpose. Proceeds from the event supported the organization’s projects and programs.

WFWI mobilizes women to change their lives through a holistic approach that address the unique needs of women in conflict and post- conflict environments. WFWI begin by working with women who may have lost everything in conflict and often have no where else to turn. As each woman engages in a multi-phase process of recovery and rehabilitation, she opens a window of opportunity presented by the end of conflict to help improve the rights, freedoms and status of women in her country. As women who go through the program assume leadership positions in their villages, actively participate in the reconstruction of their communities, build civil society, start businesses, train other women and serve as role models, they become active citizens who can help to establish lasting peace and stability.

Zarii Designs was extremely proud to be apart of this amazing event!!!
