What do "Dress the Legs 2010" and the recent developments in
Haiti have in common? Women. Not just any woman but amputees
who have lost one or both legs to disease or injury.
The "Dress the Legs 2010" campaign was designed to raise the
level of awareness to the hundreds of thousand female
amputees around the globe not traditionally thought of when
it comes to fashion.
On January 16, 2010,
Lisa Goshon, owner of Seduzione Leggs Hosiery Boutique
launched the Dress the Legs 2010 campaign in Newark, New
Jersey at a designers showcase event.
The Goal: 2,010,000 women in 2010 dressing the legs for 1
day to honor these women. To reach this goal, we are asking
women around the globe to wear a pair of hosiery, leggings,
or socks for 1 day. It's that simple!
As the owner of the nation's only designer hosiery and
legging boutique, I want to use the business to highlight
more than just wearing designer hosiery, says Goshon. It's
about getting women around the world to come together for
the cause. To be a voice and take notice not all women have
legs".
Goshon is also compelling the fashion industry to do more to
involve this elite group in fashion, i.e., designing,
styling, advertising, etc.
With the number of new amputees in Haiti each day, the Dress
the Legs 2010 is evidence we need to do more.
By becoming ONE VOICE, we have the power to change the
quality of life and increase awareness for the plight of
these women.
