The RE Store

Recycled Art and Fashion Show wrapped up in style

The 2010 Show has now concluded. Three galleries and three fashion shows in two cities left artists, designers, attendees, and the press inspired. Many people have reconsidered what is in their own trash treasure cans.

Photographer Michael Cline says, "Everything about the show has gotten better, reaching a much larger audience, and making a much stronger impression." Read his article on our blog.

Trash Fashion Show Review
This year's Trash Fashion Show Trash Fashion Shows in Seattle and Bellingham were complete successes. All three shows played to sold-out crowds. The designs were amazing, beautiful and bizarre. The press attended in droves, with King 5 News, the Seattle Times and Seattle Weekly, Bellingham Herald, Seattle Magazine, What's Up magazine, the Western Front, KVIK television, Bellingham Alive magazine, and others all in attendance.

The RE Store was proud to partner with the New York Fashion Academy and W.W.U.'s Fine Arts and Theater Department to produce truly memorable evenings to all who attended. The shows featured student work for the first time this year as well as professional/amateur designs.

What is Recycled Art?
Recycled Art is made from anything that is fished out of the waste stream. The waste stream flows deep and wide from each American home and workplace, so materials are abundant. Recycled Art can be inspiring, poignant, useful, beautiful, impractical, wearable, hideous, humorous, or just downright trashy. What calls to you?
