Seth Aaron Henderson to Design Collection Inspired by Solar Technology

Seth Aaron Henderson, winner of Project Runway season seven, poses with a SolarWorld photovoltaic cell in the photograph. Seth Aaron has agreed to take inspiration from SolarWorld's technology in designing and presenting the "Seth Aaron SolarWorld Collection Presented by Portland Fashion Week." The collection will debut Oct. 9 as part of the sustainable fashion showcase from Oct. 6 through 10.
The theme of Portland Fashion Week is "Solar Is the New Black." Portland Fashion Week (PFW) and SolarWorld, the show's renewable-energy sponsor, will assemble the fashion runway from its black solar panels. Seth Aaron toured SolarWorld's manufacturing plant in Hillsboro, Oregon for inspiration.
"It's SolarWorld's commitment to being a leader in its industry by keeping innovation always in mind that interests me," says Mr. Henderson, who lives in the Portland area. "There was inspiration from the second I stepped foot in the SolarWorld factory. Innovation and sustainability were overwhelming impressions, and they give me limitless possibilities for a high-concept collection. They're doing a lot of good things in the world, and together with PFW, I love the statement we're making from right here in my back yard."
