Here is a little about "Freedom and Fashion" :
In the spring of 2008, Ms. Kim decided to volunteer at Nightlight, an organization that fights human trafficking and the exploitative sex industry in Bangkok, Thailand. Seeing Nightlight’s immense need of material, human and financial support, Ms. Kim realized that fighting injustice was not as easy as she thought it would be. After her volunteer work was over, she learned about various organizations such as Not For Sale, Polaris Project, and others that were doing work on the front lines — fighting the same fight as Nightlight. But she found that all these organizations had a similar struggle — they all needed consistent marketing and financial support. That winter, she realized that her passion for art and fashion could be used for a greater purpose. She decided to create an organization that would act as a hub for all these great groups; each group would be featured on the runway, and have space to sell their merchandise. At the same time, these groups would be generating awareness about their causes and potentially recruiting new volunteers, as well. Thus, the concept for Freedom and Fashion was born. Freedom and Fashion is a fashion orientated creative arts organization that is a resource hub for fair-trade businesses and non-profit organizations dealing with labor and sex trafficking.
