Fashion Show Friday Oct 10th
fs-08
The annual Recycled Fashion Show was created by Treasure City as a way to promote the creative reuse of old materials.
Local clothing and accessory designers have been encouraged to hunt for materials and inspiration at Treasure City for their collections . Participating designers were given bags to fill up with items from the store for free in exchange for putting at least one piece from their collections in a silent auction after the fashion show.
The fashion show is free and will be preceded by pre-show performances, including dances by Texas Roller Derby jeerleaders The Bomb Squad and DJ BULLET.
The show is followed immediately by an after party benefit at the Victory Grill (1104 E. 11th Street). The benefit will feature a silent auction of some pieces from the fashion show and musical entertainment by local acts, Blacklisted Individuals, Damp Heat, Sunset, and The Always Already. There is a $5 suggested donation. Proceeds benefit Treasure City Thrift Store.
The fashion show and benefit are collaborations with iLoveMikeLitt which also produced last year's show and benefit.
TC Fashion Show October - Call for Entries
Treasure City Fashion Show 2008 -
Treasure City Thrift Store is now accepting entries for our 2nd Annual Recycled Fashion Show.
The Show will take place in the first half of October.
This year we are striving for an entirely recycled show. The concept is creative reuse of materials.
We are hoping that each designer can enter a collection of at least 3 outfits that are refashioned out of old clothes. Designers are highly encouraged to look for material (i.e. old clothes and accessories) at Treasure City Thrift Store.
Space is limited, so contact us with your interest soon.
