Spring symbolizes not just the industry of creation, but of re-creation: the cycle of renewal that consumes and updates past elements. This close-loop metaphor of spring is ever-present in those whose work considers the environment. Madam Chino applies a perpetual-spring ideology to clothing year round, with a fitting release of the newest collection on Earth Day.

Kicking off the UWM Earth Week Festivities on Earth Day, Monday April 22th 2013, UWM will sponsor the 8th Annual “EARTH DAY RUNWAY with Madam Chino and Friends,” a fashion show held twice consecutively at high noon and again at 12:30 pm in the UWM Union Concourse. The high energy spring fashion event showcases The Madam Chino Eco-Friendly Men and Women's Spring 2013 Collection by veteran local eco-designer/seamstress Vanessa Devaki Andrew, and the students of her “No-Sweat Sewing” classes held tri-annually at the UWM Studio Arts and Craft Centre. Music presented by the Drummers of the UWM Dance Department in association with De La Buena. Hair and make-up by Fabrizio Cappeli Salon. Enjoy the show on a full runway, with chair seating, balcony standing, and shop fair-market booths with local artists selling up-cycled wares.

Madam Chino has been creating eco-conscious wearables for men and women of rescued t-shirts, flannels, and vintage fabrics for over ten years in Milwaukee. Madam Chino’s LOOK NOOK is the official showroom open each Saturday from noon-six pm at 100A E. Pleasant Street on the 3rd floor of the Milwaukee Fortress building 53212.
