2025 Trashion Show
Whimsical Wonderland
Join us on May 3rd to celebrate sustainability and support affordable housing at our 6th annual Trashion Show!
Showcase your sustainable creations
Designer submissions now open! Here are the rules for participating in the Trashion Show:
- Designers must craft an original outfit, individually or as a team, that is durable enough to showcase on our real fashion show runway.
- At least 75% of your outfit must be created from trash, reclaimed or recycled material that can safely be worn on the body (plastic, paper, cardboard, glass, or any material that would have otherwise been thrown away).
- Your outfit should fit into a Whimsical Wonderland – we’re dreaming up a colorful circus set in a candy landscape full of fantastical fairytale elements.
- Applications and a $50 entry fee must be submitted by April 18th (space is limited – enter soon!)
- Due to an increase in interest, we are asking that designers only submit one design each at this time.
- Designers must provide their own model to showcase their outfit at the Trashion Show on May 3rd.
- Tap the button to start your application today!
