In the LA Area on Saturday? Check Out the Festival of the Arts’ Recycled Fashion Show

(2009 winning design by artists Luciano Bortone and Barbara Hendricks)
The Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts and Pageant of Masters is already one of the oldest and most prestigious open air art shows in the country, but tomorrow it gets even better. On Saturday from 1-4 pm, reused couture takes center stage at Runway Fashion, where festival artists are tasked with making high fashion out of reclaimed and recycled materials—allowing for a ton of creativity and some very interesting concepts. (Last year’s winner used plastic forks, old festival programs, and can tabs.) Seven ensembles will make their way down the catwalk, face a panel of judges (actress Joely Fisher, artist Andre Miripolsky, and fashion executive Suzi Chauvel), and maybe even win some cash when it’s all said and done.
