A fashion competition in Westchester has the goal of tackling two pressing social issues at once: highlighting the global impact of textile waste and offering a helping hand to immigrants living in the county.
SewStainable is Bedford's first sustainable art show and will feature outfits made from recycled materials and discarded clothing - all designed by local students and women.

Most of them are recent immigrants enrolled at a fashion class at the Community Center of Northern Westchester, a nonprofit clothing bank that helps the underserved.
It's all happening next Thursday from 6-8 p.m. at the Katonah Art Museum. The event was the brainchild of longtime fashion designer Andy Yu, who brought on 14 celebrity judges to weigh in.
The winners will receive cash prizes. A week later, high fashion and eco-consciousness will come together once again for a show co-organized by 914PopUps.
It will feature the winning designs at ArtsWestchester.
