Polo Fashion School is an after-school course for inner-city teenagers. This year's participants have designed a tote bag that reflects the values of the Hetrick-Martin Institute's (HMI) Harvey Milk School, which is dedicated to the needs of the lesbian, bi-sexual, gay and transgender community. The Kiss Bag is available at Rugby.com and in New York City at the men's and women's Bleecker Street Ralph Lauren stores and the University Place Rugby store. All profits from the sale of the Kiss Bag will be donated to the Hetrick-Martin Institute. The Polo Fashion School was established in 2004 to provide highly motivated, gifted students exposure to the world of fashion in the hopes that some will pursue career opportunities in the industry. This year, in addition to the tote bags, ten students have designed four Collection dresses that are being produced and donated to HMI. Since its establishment in 2004, 5 groups have participated in Polo Fashion School. They include: East Harlem School at Exodus House (2004), Team Revolution (2005 & 2006), Harlem Children's Zone (2007) and the Hetrick-Martin Institute (2008).   |
