On October 27th, during the United Nations’ week-long 61st Anniversary Celebration, policy makers, designers, models, celebrities, humanitarians and other stylish Washingtonians joined together to work towards making poverty history.
Legendary hip-hop artist Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels teamed up with fashion stylist and designer Elizabeth Muir for photo shoot in Dumbo Brooklyn to create a socially aware look for the United Nations (U.N.) Fashion Fights Poverty look-book being produced for the U.N. Fashion Fights Poverty Event held this past weekend.
“In its second year as part of the United Nations Association’s United Nations Week, Fashion Fights Poverty (FFP) hopes to contribute to the exciting and very necessary debate on the role of fashion, design and - dare we say, consumption - in our collective responsibility to work towards eradicating poverty.”
The great part of Darryl McDaniels is not only is he a hip-hop legend, but he’s involved in charity events and community events to raise awareness on issues like poverty.
