Blue Wrap Project Runway - March 30, 2011
11 photos
for sale
A sold-out crowd filled the Portland Museum of Art for the Blue Wrap Project Runway fashion show put on by Partners for World Health. Each of the show's garments was constructed from blue wrap, a synthetic fabric used to sterilize medical instruments. Partners for World Health collects unused medical supplies discarded by Maine healthcare facilities and distributes them to medical facilities in the developing world. The organization receives a lot of blue wrap, yet can't send it overseas because hospitals in less affluent nations employ reusable towels to sterilize instruments rather than disposable blue wrap.
