The second annual Trashion Show was a big success, with 13 entries and more than 100 people coming out to watch the show.
The weather stayed nice, allowing the event to be held outside on the Rockford Patio, with its spectacular backdrop.
The show was organized by Birch & Lace and raised about $2,000 for the North Columbia Environmental Society and WaterAid Canada.
All outfits had to be made out of material destined for either the garbage or recycling. Check out our pictures from the event:
Lindy Silano and her daughter Abril walk out in clothes made out recycled products from Pharmasave, where Lindy works. The clothes were made out of old cards, puzzle pieces, paper and medicine bottles.
Chloe Kennett poses as ‘Stick Lady’ in a dress made out of used chopsticks from Kawakubo, plastic wrap from Southside, an old onion bag and dental floss. The dress was designed by Maggie Lynch, who works at Kawakubo.
Vanessa Irwin high fives the audience in her 'Princess Unicorn' outfit, which was designed by Alyssa Veerenhuis. The outfit was made out of grocery bags, paper, bubble wrap, a dog food bag, scrap fabric and a burnt out light bulb.
