Boston University students took to the runway last night, modeling fashions not often seen in Paris and Milan. Instead, they paraded across the BU Central stage in the latest street chic: sustainable fashion.

Alpha Delta Pi teamed up with Hewlett-Packard to bring ‘Turn Off, Turn Out: Sustainable Fashion’ to BU on Wednesday. About 80 audience members watched their fellow students model clothing and accessories from Livity Outernational, an eco-friendly clothing manufacturer that makes all of its products out of hemp, organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles and raffia straw.

Livity’s most popular product at the show was a sweatshirt, ADPi officer Yoojin Cho, a former Daily Free Press reporter, said. The hoodie, which looks like an ordinary zip-up, contains hidden electrical chips that help keep the wearer balanced.

‘They are great for those nights when you are stumbling home,’ Dan Chizzoniti, a College of Arts and Sciences senior and HP representative, said. Chizzoniti organized the show with Cho.

Chizzoniti said he came up with the idea of the sustainable fashion show because of his passion for making people more aware of their impact on the environment. He heard about Livity Outernational and was aware of HP’s ‘Go Green’ campaign. Together with Cho, Chizzoniti decided combining the two would be fun and educational for BU students.

‘ADPi has to have one event open to the entire campus, and we are a sorority, so we really have fun with fashion shows,’ Cho, a CAS and College of Communication junior, said. ‘Dan and I worked together over the summer, and we both had to plan an event for our jobs. HP was willing to help out and Livity wanted to bring their product to campus, so it worked out very well.’

Chizzoniti said he hoped the fashion show would help promote HP’s ‘Power to Change’ widget. The widget, free to download, reminds users to turn off their computers and tracks how much energy people can save by doing so.

In addition to a fashion show, ADPi also held a raffle. The tickets were free for anyone who came to the show, and prizes included hats, T-shirts and belts from Livity.

CAS sophomore Aleem Aziz won the grand prize, a new HP laptop. Aziz, a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, attended the show with his fraternity to support the ADPi sisters.

‘I’m very excited that I won the laptop,’ Aziz said. ‘Unfortunately, I already have a pretty good laptop, so we’ll see what happens with this.’
