JUST DO IT: First Friday US*U.S. debut fashion show

This month's First Friday (tomorrow, July 6) in Old City will host US*U.S, a fashion collective of nine young, talented designers, for its debut fashion show. The team of fashionistas, lead by Rachel Saler of Corazon Swimwear and Lele Tran of Lele Custom Dresses, works off the sentiment of keeping Philadelphia textile manufacturing a competitive force.

US*U.S's mission is all about sustainable production, making a commitment to providing fair-trade-compensated work for local seamstresses. Corazon Swimwear also takes an interesting approach to design by incorporating Guatemalan textiles — an endangered species of highly intricate hand weavings — in all its pieces.

Local bands Mountjoy and Safari Dudes will set the mood for this classy, fun evening of fashion and spirits, sponsored by Spodee wine. 5 p.m., free, 323 Arch St., 214-564-3987.
