Imagine if everyone in the world turned their excess recyclable materials into clothing.  We’d have a hip, fashionable and fully-clothed world wouldn’t we?  Often times perfection will begin as a glimmer in the eye of those who see a flaw in the way of life that has been handed down to today’s generations.

With the contributions of eco-conscious designers and community trendsetters such as Veronica Coleman (Reno Upcycle), Lauren Gifford (Prism Magic Clothing & Imports) & Kimberly Phipps-Nichol (Blue Water Studio), the biggest little city is well on it’s way to becoming one of America’s best unknown cultural hotspots.

Here’s a sample of what Trashion Show: Everyday to Obscure had to offer attendees at The Alley on Friday, March 24th.
