We are constantly perusing the internet looking for opportunities for emerging fashion designers. This fun tidbit came to us through MLive.com. The Urban Institute of Contemporary Arts is hosting a ‘Recycled Runway’ fashion show on Aug. 8, 2009 after the Street Party as part of a series called Nosh Night. This will also be the last night to take a peek at a current exhibit, Material Afterlife.
If you are in the area of Grand Rapids, MI, you might want to check out the particulars:
Recycled Runway will feature emerging fashion designers in Grand Rapids who will create articles of clothing made out of repurposed and recycled objects. We ask that the fashion designer find a model for the show or model their designs themselves. This will be an opportunity for self-promotion and to meet other creatives in the field, as well as networking with other NoshNight goers. The last NoshNight event attracted 300 designers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals and we expect an even bigger crowd for the Street Party.
