Excitement was building for the 12th annual Trash the Runway.
The event, run by the Common Threads Creative Lab and sponsored in part by the City of Boulder, is a design competition that challenges local middle and high school students to create high fashion out trash. Students have two months to transform found and recycled materials into runway-ready outfits.
This year, the competition featured 25 students who sported candy wrappers, fishing nets, soccer balls, computer tape, trampoline fabric and other materials that might end up in our landfills.
For many students, this was opportunity to be courageous and make a statement about the environmental impact of common materials.
“It’s important to realize how much trash we’re putting into the world,” said 10th grader Malia Chipouras. “This is less than three days of receipts from a tiny store.” Malia sewed a long white gown from grocery store receipts.
