The Uniform Project


Sheena Matheiken grew up in India and wore a uniform to school every day. Now she is wearing a uniform again every day (she has 7 identical copies and will wear this dress for 365 days) as an exercise in sustainable fashion. She's also challenging her accessorization skills - she's fantastic at it.


Sheena is simultaneously raising funds to cover educational expenses for slum children in India by supporting a revolutionary educational program called The Ankanksha Foundation, a non-profit organization with the vision to one day equip all students with the education, skills and character they need to lead empowered lives. For more on Ankanksha, click here.


To see Sheena's amazing dress in action (I am already querying the designer to make my own) watch this fun video produced by Daily Candy.
