Over 15 of California’s top public officials walked the runaway for The Coalition for Clean Air’s fourth annual fashion show, “Clean Air... Always in Fashion” at the Wilshire Ebell Club on Nov. 16 at 6:30 p.m. The event comes on the heels of the new state legislation mandating a 25 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and features representatives modeling the latest eco-friendly garments in support of the Coalition’s programs.
In addition, two dresses from this year’s “Project Runway” designed by residents Jeffrey Sebelia and Vincent Libretti, were on display and auctioned off. A wedding dress, designed by Andrae Gonzalo from last season’s “Project Runway,” was also sold.
“Whether you are rich or poor, live in Northern or Southern California, we all deserve to breathe clean air,” said actress/activist Kathy Najimy.“I am honored to help the Coalition for Clean Air in its mission to restore clean, healthful air to our state.”
For 35 years, the non-profit Coalition for Clean Air has worked to restore clean air to California. With offices in Sacramento, Los Angeles and Fresno, it is focused on reducing pollution and strengthening the California environmental community.
