Seth Aaron Henderson, winner of the seventh season of Project Runway, is designing an entire collection inspired by solar power, to be presented at Portland Fashion Week (PFW), a carbon-neutral production, on October 9 2010. Not only will models be adorned in solar-powered clothing but they´ll also be strutting down a runway assembled with black photovoltaic panels made by SolarWorld, PFW´s renewable energy sponsor.
For inspiration, Seth Aaron Henderson, who hails from Portland, Oregon, toured SolarWorld´s manufacturing plant in nearby Hillsboro. According to the press release, the designer is interested in exploring the technology´s aesthetic possibilities and “draw on his passion for a domestically-manufactured solar solution to pressing energy, environmental, and economic challenges facing the country.”
