Charity
The new Fall/Winter 10' line 'Southern Shores' charity focus is on “Muse” which is Suzy Cameron’s (wife of film director James Cameron) non-profit elementary school based in Topanga teaching and educating the children in living in an environmentally conscious way of life while growing the connectedness of people, resources, and organizations around the world cultivating cultural identity and practicing empathy and appreciation for a variety of world views exploring the roles of responsibility on a global level.
“One generation plants and the next enjoys the shade.”
Prophetik is also working with Suzy on her green dress for the red carpet contest which was created to stimulate sustainable design, global green education, and raise funds for the non-profit Muse elementary schools and Muse Global.

Prophetik's charity focus is on land conservation both in our home state of TN and in Thailand where we are working with the Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project in raising funds to buy land for the elephants that are begging on the streets providing better food and veterinary care. Our partners at elephant art train the elephants to paint on our organic silk and hemp fabric with their trunks, which we use for our "Elle" dress featured in Lucky magazine and our men's skinny suit. Designer Jeff Garner states, "... the idea that something outside one's normal judgement of what one can do challenges that idea by these amazing creatures becoming true artists painting to help sustain their existence yet not out of necessity but out of passion. It inspires showcasing that anything is possible and that our minds become obstacles in this world of so much potential. If we all become creative in our problem solving this world would be a land of hopeful idealist making a difference against the fearful based norm of controlled ideas."

Mission statement
The Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project (AEACP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the diminishing number of Asian elephants left on our planet through its work with domesticated elephants. The AEACP raises funds through donations and the sale of artwork created by elephants in order to fulfill its mission.
The AEACP exists to:
improve the welfare of domesticated elephants by facilitating appropriate standards of training, care, food and habitat. help support the efforts of conservation organizations working to sustain and protect wild elephant populations. The AEACP mission includes the following interrelated initiatives:
I. Domesticated Elephant Welfare Initiative:
The AEACP recognizes that the vast majority of Asian elephants, Elephas maximus, exist within the context of long-standing cultural traditions of domesticity and that there is an obligation to provide these elephants with the best care possible. The AEACP benefits domesticated elephants by: promoting the paintings done by the elephants as a safe, creative alternative source of income to other activities many out-of-work elephants and their caretakers must resort to, such as illegal logging or begging for handouts on city streets. improving veterinary access. Each elephant participating in AEACP programs is regularly inspected and treated when necessary by veterinarians. The AEACP also seeks to increase veterinary access in general by establishing scholarship programs for veterinary training of elephant specialists. furthering the education of traditional elephant caretakers (“mahouts” or “pawangs”). Through workshops, seminars and cultural exchange, elephant caretakers learn the best traditional as well as modern methods in training, safety and care. This education will be augmented through the distribution of elephant management handbooks and training videos translated into multiple languages. raising funds for projects designed to meet specific needs of local elephant camps such as water filtration systems and milk ban
