Every year since 2009, local nonprofit Activate Good<\/a> has hosted a charity fashion show “Couture for a Cause”. The show pairs emerging, local fashion designers with Activate Good nonprofit partners. Designers are tasked with creating two unique looks, one ready-to-wear and one couture, that represent their partner organizations. More than half of all participating designers have ties to the Wilson College of Textiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had the opportunity to speak with two of those designers, Morgan Wilkins and Jitong Li, about their collections, experience and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
