TRASH THE RUNWAY® RECYCLED COUTURE IS GOING VIRTUAL

FOR ITS 11th YEAR, TRASH THE RUNWAY® RECYCLED COUTURE IS GOING VIRTUAL

Trash the Runway®, traditionally a sold-out live runway show competition, is going online! Tune in on June 30TH at 7 pm MST on Boulder8TV or at  fundraisingeverywhere.com/trashtherunway for TTR virtual, which will deliver the haute-est recycled couture yet.

BOULDER, COLORADO – Every Spring, for the past ten years, young designers from around the Denver Metro Area have worked tirelessly to create stunning couture for the Trash the Runway® (TTR) fashion show and competition. There is always a range of fashion from sweeping evening gowns to whimsical leisure attire. The presentation is stunning, the young designers who attend local middle and high schools are poised perfection, and the designs themselves are made entirely of recycled and found materials. Evening gowns have been made from materials like old trampoline mats and pantsuits from discarded exercise bands. One winning garment from last year’s competition was painstakingly made from thousands of gum wrappers.

The 11th annual TTR show was scheduled to happen on March 17, 2020 at Macky Auditorium on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, Colorado. Over 1,000 tickets had been sold and the excitement was percolating, … Read more!

Friday, April 10th at 10am-10:45am
Where: Online at ZOOM!

We are so excited to meet up with our friends online at the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys to bring a little Friday fun to our eyes as we review vintage Barbie clothes!

My connection with this magical little museum is my friend Wendy! We knew each other from way back in the day (Circa 2006) when we were playing kickball, seeing shows at the Hi-Dive, and I was hosting BINGO at Sputnik. She’s such a ray of sunshine! I hope you’ll tune in to watch our little program we’re going to bring you!

Brandi Shigley and Wendy LittlepageThis is us in 2010. I’m not sure where we were, but we fancy!

Now, on with the program!

A note from Wendy Littlepage, director.

Every museum has to figure out what belongs in its collection. For the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys, that means reviewing hundreds of toys and dolls a year. We often bring in experts and community members to help us winnow down donations to items that best represent different times, styles, and ideas. We’re excited to work with Brandi Shigley and … Read more!
