Trash to Fashion

on the 28th of April 2007 i competed in the anual trash to fashion awards held at founders theater. it seems like you create a garment out of recycled materials and present it in a show but that's not all. i had two practises and one rehearsal.my first practise was an hour long. my second practise was three hours long. And my third practise was four hours long and ended at ten at night! the next day my category performed dressed, make-up and all, and then had an individual meeting with the judges to tell them about the garment. then that night was the real deal. we displayed our garments i front of HEAPS of people!

what is the trash to fashion show?

This is an exciting fashion parade that showcases the creative talent of designers in our region. The designers create garments from recycled materials; the competitions aim is to raise awareness of recycling and waste issues in our community.
