UpCycle Fashion Returns for We Make May 4th!
Calling All Fashion Creatives, $250 for the Best UpCycle Fashion is up for Grabs!
Are you a student with a knack for making the drab fab? Then we have just the event for you. Art 120 is partnering with Hamilton County Department of Education and Forrestall Consulting to showcase your fabulous UpCycle fashions on the Chattanooga Green stage. Anything you can re-design, recycling, re-imagineer is eligible. Students must be primary or grade school level and can work either as a team or solo to transform old clothes and discarded items into runway fashions. One student per entry will walk the runway and one school group, team, or individual will receive a trophy plus $250 courtesy of Art 120. A professional fashion panel will select one fashion from the runway to receive $250 for their winning design courtesy of Art 120. All students involved may be onstage when their design is called but only one student per entry may walk the runway.
Need some help or inspiration? Our DIY and fashion inspiration videos included in this article. Teachers can also choose to have an UpCycle fashion artist visit your school before the event but space is limited so you must register as soon as possible so we can get you on the schedule. Looking forward to seeing what you create for We Make!
