Laguna Beach held it's annual Recycled Fashion Show this past Saturday and a couple of close friends and I headed to the event with free tickets courtesy of my buddy Char (thanks babe). The event is held in an outside venue. Under the shade of trees were neatly arranged tables ready to be set-up by the audience's picnic baskets. Zipping Chardonnay and munching on yummy snacks the show begins...
This year there were seven artists competing for cash prices. The extravagant couture gowns submitted were made of at least eighty percent of recycled, reclaimed or reusable materials.
The artists next to their creations.
Here are some cool pictures:
The first, a gown made of materials found in the trash bin of the artists' studio. The bubble wrap cape was incredible!
Then came the creation of various recycled metals with a futuristic robotic dog! The dog sold immediately!
Followed by a creation that Lady Gaga would adore! A beautiful landscape of a dress created from recycled paint (with bee hive netting and cape). This was the winner - the artist has won multiple times in the past.
One of the crowd favorites was this number created from organic trash.
This Marie Antoinette inspiration was my personal favorite - the wig alone was made from twine and yarn, absolutely phenomenal!
There were also two men that participated with naughty outfits made of mahogany and plastic.
We had such awonderful time!
