BendiNewsTest: Jill Adams’ Ebola protective suit to debut at New York Fashion Week

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Jill Adams’ Ebola protective suit to debut at New York Fashion Week

Humanitarian design might not be the first thought that comes to mind when you think of New York Fashion Week, but that’s the angle that wedding dress designer Jill Adams is taking in her debut of an Ebola protective suit prototype. Selected as one of the five finalists in the U.S. Agency for International Development competition for a better disease-fighting suit, the single-piece garment minimizes points of contamination and helps its wearer stay comfortable with a battery-powered dry-air cooling system. The garment will be put on display at a “pop-up lounge” in Manhattan’s The Empire Hotel.
