NOTE: Needed Fabulousness is not accepting donations at this time. Please check back, as I will be gearing up for a new campaign shortly. Thank you for your interest.
Needed Fabulousness is a web-based donation campaign created as a means to buy myself a designer dress and shoes to wear to art exhbition openings. While exploring ideas about the social value and democratization of fashion, Needed Fabulousness provides a short cut for me to both simulate and experience the transformative power of luxuiously high fashion.
