Sustainable fashion stylings from pieces by charity second-hand retailer Humana for the Diversity Ball on 7 May 2022 at Kursalon Vienna

Recently, an illustrious group from music, film, theater, sport and politics met at the store of the charity second-hand retailer Humana for the presentation of sustainable fashion styles for the upcoming Diversity Ball on 7 May at the Kursalon in Vienna.

At least three good reasons brought the popular representatives of Austrian culture to the store of Humana for modeling in outfits from pre-worn clothing: The idea to propagate saving resources by the creation of new styles from second-hand pieces and promoting at the same time the charity organization Humana which supports with the proceeds of the sale of second-hand fashion projects against poverty and inequality. The third good reason was the Diversity Ball itself where the idea of a society without barriers is celebrated each year. The 14th Diversity Ball presented by Magenta Telekom will happen under the motto 'Be Our Ally' calling for togetherness and a diverse society, against separatism and authoritarianism. It's announced that the net proceeds are used for projects for the inclusion of deaf people.
