OPEN TO ALL

Reduce, Reuse, ReFashion…get ready to do a little turn on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk. Textiles have fast become one of the largest growing waste types and clothing represents a share of that. Although on the industry’s radar for years, recent pushes and mainstream discussions on sustainability, EPR, manufacturing, fast fashion and pandemic behaviors have truly shone a light on the growing issue. Waste360's TRASHION runway show, co-produced by Dress for Success, New Orleans Fashion Week, Environmental Research & Education Foundation, and Waste360, will feature 20 local upcycled designers and thrifted stylists who’ve breathed new life into discarded items. Join us for a fun, and impactful way to shine our own spotlight on one method for waste diversion. So let’s just change clothes…and go. A-ha!
