Fashion Marketing goes green for Earth Day.

Students supported not only their peers as they put a twist on garbage, but the importance of sustaining the Earth.

In conjunction with the recent Earth Day celebration at Mount Trashmore, the school’s Fashion Marketing program presented a unique fashion, rather ‘trashion’ show.

The show featured original student designs constructed from 100 percent recycled and repurposed materials including: old beach balls, newspapers, used CDs, trash bags, paper bags, and more. These ‘trashion’ masterpieces were created as a mindful and relevant study in stylish sustainability and were modeled by the students who created them.

“I thought a lot about recycling more at home during the process of making the outfits,” sophomore Fashion student Haley Henahan said.

During the show, each group of models performed a dance in their recycled ensembles that directly related to Earth Day.

“It was a challenge to come up with a song that related to Earth Day.  But, once the other girls and I put our heads together and collaborated, we pulled it off,” sophomore Madison Dominick said.

All in all, the Earth Day ‘trashion’ celebration seems to have been a success.

“It was exciting to be a part of the show and involved in the whole celebration,” Henahan said. “I am surprised and amazed at how many people really do want to help the Earth.”
