July 14, 2011 - PRLog -- New York City… The fashion capital of the world. Where everyone moves JUST to follow their fashion dreams. Well, Fashion Camp NYC is the place where teens and tweens go to start THEIR fashion dreams. This year, we pay it forward and teach our campers to do the same. Social responsibility is becoming a big part of kids’ product opinions:

“Kids, tweens and teens are all more likely to buy a product if part of the price goes to a cause close to their hearts,” says C&R Reseach firm, which specializes in children’s product research.

Fashion Camp NYC has responded… and we’ve responded big. On August 5, 2011 at our headquarters of LIM Business College, our newly acquired panel of “Fashion Gives Back,” will teach our campers about the charitable industry within fashion, and discuss the importance of “giving back” while “dressing up.” The organizations our speakers are involved with have contributed to helping those all over the world and done amazing charitable things for world hunger, the Haiti earthquake, the Japan tsunami, health and wellness and much more:

• Operation Prom: Operation PROM was originally established to help low-income students attend their proms by providing free prom dresses and tuxedo rentals.
• Warby Parker Eyewear: Buy a pair, give a pair. Warby Parker distributes glasses to enable people to become more productive members of their families and communities.
• Fashion Delivers: Fashion Delivers helps to unify those in the fashion industry to donate new product to aid victims of disasters and those in need all throughout the year.
• FEED Projects: FEED creates goods that help to FEED the world. From the sale of FEED bags, bears, t-shirts and other accessories and by collaborating with big names in fashion, they donate a set portion of the goods to help those in need all around the world.
