Trash to Fashion

We are always excited to hear about innovated new ways to recycle product. Recently, students at Eastern Kentucky University put together a fashion show using all recycled products. Students were first required to submit designs which were then chosen to be apart of the fashion show.

Among the predictable materials used to create sustainability-inspired designs were curtains, trash bags, newspapers and duct tape.

More bizarre materials used for clothing included Starbucks sleeves, orange construction fencing, an entire garment bag, Christmas tulle, shredded soda cans and cacti. Yes, one model walked the catwalk wearing three small cactuses as accessories.

That sounds like the kind of creative fun we can get behind!
