Louis Missouri based consumer soft goods marketer Kellwood Company's Phat Fashions underwrites "Design our T-shirt Contest" to support Fashion Delivers Charitable Foundation Inc, according to Bernt Ullmann, president of Phat Fashions.
"The contest theme is "unity" to reflect our mission to mobilize the men's, women's and home fashion industries to donate products to victims of natural disasters and those in need, both nationally and internationally. This contest is our way of telling people that Fashion Delivers is here to stay while also helping those who want to enter the fashion and related industries," said Allan Ellinger, chairman of Fashion Delivers and senior partner of MMG Inc.
"Fashion Delivers shows the fashion industry has heart and is smart to be gathering goods now, so when disaster strikes -- the industry will be ready to help with donated clothing. I am proud to be a part of this initiative and to know that Kellwood is 100 percent behind Phat Farm's participation," stated Russell Simmons of Phat Farm.
"Fashion Delivers is a great organization to team up with and give back to the community. The contest is providing an outlet for creative talent to unleash their creativity for a great cause. We are very excited to provide the t-shirts and raise awareness of the organization," added Ullmann.
The lucky winner will see his or her design on a limited edition of Phat Farm t-shirts that will be sold at the Phat Farm's flagship store in New York, and online at Phat Farm's and Fashion Deliver's websites.
