The Trashy Flashy Fashion Show features high fashion designs made entirely of 75% recycled materials. This fashion show, celebrated in honor of America Recycles Day, serves as an educational opportunity to share ways to decrease our carbon footprint by showcasing examples of environmentally sustainable fashions.


The Trashy Flashy Fashion Show will focus on the importance of waste reduction through reduce, reuse and recycle. These waste reduction concepts will be incorporated into the designs through the use of upcycling and repurposing. To upcycle means to take an item and turn it into an item of higher value, such as taking some duct-tape and turning it into a dress or a bracelet. These high fashion pieces will not only intertwine fashion and art with sustainability, but they will show how beautiful the end result can be.
