In the spirit of my earlier post on Buy Nothing Day, in preparation for Black Friday I am going to do seven days of frugal and conservation oriented fashion blogging.
Thus I am inviting you to participate in a fashion blogging event. Next Friday is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day in America. I am asking other fashion bloggers to join me in blogging about their own views on fashion, consumption, individuality, and the importance of fashion in our lives. I am encouraging any other fashion bloggers to join me in this endeavor, just make your own political fashion statements about your view on consumption and fashion and I will link up and we can hopefully dialogue about the importance of individuality in fashion! I would like this to grow organically so please email your fashion blogging friends to join the fun!
Please go check out Black Friday Bloggers that have agreed to participate: Fashion Tribes,Papier Doll, Final Fashion, La Dauphine, Style Intelligence, The American Princess, Kiss Me Stace: Designer Ella! and Fashion Incubator
Final Fashion up-and-coming Toronto designer has already posted the first bit of her series which is going to be entitled “Free Fashion.” Go check out her inspiring words!
Fashion Tribes has already posted as well!! Glad to have your support for our “quixotic” cause.
Count me in! I’m following a link from a comment left on my blog. Believe me, you won’t find many people more opposed to senseless consumption than me. I know that you can find more like-minded companies to join you by searching the Co-op America online Green Pages (I’m a member).
Hopefully you’ll end up linking to me. My site is all about sustainable, socially responsible manufacturing, nearly all are small designer-manufacturers. Join us!
best regards and thanks for the invite!

Great Kathleen! You will be linked immediately! I can’t wait to hear what you have to say as we approach Black Friday. The more dialogue the better so that we can all understand how fashion fits into our lives.
Can I join up with you on Black Friday Blogging?
I have also linked you and am blogging my two yen’s worth too!
Brilliant idea Julie! I have joined in and will be offering the luxury eco perspective. This holiday season we have more choices than ever to enjoy stylish and sustainable gift giving.

[...] Now that Coutorture has a big new happy family we are working on dreaming up traffic pushing ideas for everyone (sigh the purity of content and the agony of monetization) and we had a thought. I remember organizing the first fashion blogging carnival ever TWO YEARS ago called Black Friday Blogging. It was a huge success and everyone had a lot of fun. Later the Manolo took up the cause with the Carnival of Couture. And now we have programs like Splendicity, Websnobs and Blog Bazaar which is cool for submitting your best link of the week. In short people like links because well we all seem to want traffic. [...]
