REYCLED RUNWAY™ GEARS UP FOR ITS 9TH YEAR OF STUNNING DESIGN

REYCLED RUNWAY™ GEARS UP FOR ITS 9TH YEAR OF STUNNING DESIGN

Anticipating the 9th year of Recycled Runway, a Boulder-based design competition that features local, young designers who create haute couture out of found and recycled materials.

 Last April, a young woman strutted down a runway in the Boulder Theater dressed in a dark fringed skirt and jacket combo. As she gracefully raised her arms to let the long fringe dance and dangle, an already animated crowd went wild and she flashed a couple of peace signs into the crowd at the sold-out theater. Shortly thereafter, another young woman glided down the same runway in an ethereal white gown, the skirt covered in delicate rosettes. When she tossed her “bouquet” into the audience, screams of delight escaped everyone’s mouths.  No, this wasn’t just another teenage fashion show highlighting the latest in prom and club attire, this was Recycled Runway™, a design competition for Middle and High School students who create high fashion garments entirely out of found and recycled materials. The fringed outfit? Made of old bicycle tire tubes and discarded chocolate wrappers. The white gown? Tossed out tissue paper from Vans’ shoe boxes.
