From Triveni Institute:
The first-annual Trashion Revolution fashion show is a community activation event to create awareness, offer solutions and inspire change. 35 designers are creating "trash art" looks made primarily from single-use, disposable, post-consumer plastic.
50 models will walk the runway who represent the diversity of humanity: plastic pollution and climate change affect all life on this planet, so it is critical that humanity be represented at our show as well as welcome at our show. Our models represent age diversity, body diversity, racial diversity and gender diversity, from people who will walk the runway for the very first time to professional models. Addressing plastic pollution and climate change is a monumental undertaking, and humanity must work together to create a world that can support our existence. And not just human existence, but all of existence - the rich biodiversity within the biome of our tiny blue planet that humans rely upon. We are not separate from "nature": we are nature.
We are thrilled to invite you to be part of the first-annual Trashion Revolution. We need change. We need a revolution to address our environmental challenges.
