Announcing: the Little Black Dress wear-a-thon!

Hi folks! The Hun here, reporting live from Burning Man where the festival is in full swing.

While I’ve been out here, I’ve been working on a special project in conjunction with You Bright Young Things designer Eliza Starbuck. Today I’m excited to announce the launch of a month-long Little Black Dress wear-a-thon!

The beautiful Anne-Marie Goco (who goes by “Sergeant Slaughter” out here in the desert) will be wearing the same dress 30 different ways, and we’ll be posting one photo a day to give you inspiration on how to make more out of less. We’re following in the footsteps of The Uniform Project, in which Sheena Matheiken wore the same dress for an entire year to raise over $100,000 for charity.

Eliza Starbuck designed that Little Black Dress, and continues to promote creativity and sustainability by hosting wear-a-thons on YouBrightYoungThings.com. And that’s where we come in!

Sergeant Slaughter is a stylish babe, and an amazing model. There’ll be new photos every day, all surrounded by Burning Man art and fashion from our desert community. Here’s our first photo; the rest will be posted daily at the Burning Man Little Black Dress wear-a-thon.
