Eco Fashion Week Vancouver (EFW) has partnered with SIGG Canada to host a "plastic bottle free" event. EFW launched on September 27th, 2010 and every guest will receive the limited edition of the official SIGG bottle co-designed by Goodwill Environmental Ambassador, Gisele Bündchen.

As one of the global pioneers in the eco movement, "SIGG continues to improve the world's carbon footprint through their 100% recyclable water bottles. A design partnership with Gisele Bündchen, named Goodwill Environmental Ambassador for the United Nations Environment program in September 2009, is the perfect fit", expresses Naomi Roberts, Logistics and Sales Coordinator at SIGG Canada.

"The opportunity to host a plastic bottle free event is a blessing for Eco Fashion Week! We are so grateful to have a fabulous brand like SIGG to make this happen and to have Gisele Bündchen co-designing the exclusive water bottle is absolutely amazing. Yes, she is one of the most recognized faces in the fashion industry, but her green initiatives suit our vision completely", quotes Myriam Laroche, President of EFW. "The environment has always been my passion," Bündchen said. "Mother Earth is our fundamental life-support system, and by becoming aware and responsible now, we can assist in preserving the planet."

Eco fashion Week presented will be the premier event in Canada bringing together the fashion and clothing industry, media, buyers, consumers and the worlds of eco practices, style and sustainability. It will seek to promote environmentally conscious trends in fashion and to applaud and support designers, manufacturers, and retailers who are shaping these trends.

Showcasing national and international fashion talent that are making strides to support and embrace responsible philosophies, the event will be held at the LEED certified Creekside Community Center, located in Vancouver’s sustainable Olympic Village.
