Trash or Fashion?

Even America's Next Top Model sees the value in eco-friendly fashion. 

Check out the photo slideshow from a recent show that featured models going glam in a landfill.  (Thanks for the tip, Nicole!)

At times, the landscape is apocalyptic and mesmerizing but MAKE NO MISTAKE!  This is a landfill, only one of thousands in our country.  According to the EPA, the U.S. has 3,091 active landfills and over 10,000 old municipal landfills.  Let ANTM be an inspiration to all of us to keep valuable materials OUT of the landfills! 

So, to try and inspire our artists to be even more eco-conscious than they already are, we're launching the following special event this year: 

THE GREEN FASHION SHOW

Wednesday, June 22 @ 9PM
Location: Gene Frankel Theatre
Tickets: $5*
*50% of ticket sales goes to charity!

Project Runway meets Recycling!

Planet Connections productions and their costume designers are invited to enter PCTF’s first-ever Green Fashion Show!  From salvaged and found materials to repurposing and reinventing, we’re looking for costumes that exemplify going green and thinking both innovatively and sustainably.  Which costume will be deemed the most eco-chic?  Designs will take to the runway in front of the audience and a panel of Celebrity Judges.  The winning costume design will take home a cash prize for their show’s charity!  50% of all ticket sales for this event go to the winner’s charity and only you can make it a success!  So show your love for green design by attending this fantastic event!

Eligibility:

·         Only 1 per show (must be a costume being used in a PCTF production)

·         Must be submitted by show producer, director or costume designer along with photo & description

·         Show is responsible for providing and dressing their 'model'

Can't wait to see your submissions!
