Trashion, a guerrilla fashion show that took place in Clifton, Ohio, aimed at promoting sustainability and raising awareness of the fash- ion industry’s environmental impact. With the support of the community, we created “Trash- ion fits” made from upcycled materials, includ- ing old fabrics, curtains, thrifted clothing, and various other items. These outfits were modeled by volunteers who collected trash around the University of Cincinnati. Sustainable facts were distributed to the public to enhance under- standing and raise awareness of environmental issues
There was a lot of outreach when it came to planning this event. My partners and I went to multiple meetings and environmental organizations held by the University to learn more about what other students were doing to help the environment and to promote the event. I also was interviewed on my take of sustainability for a documentary that highlighted current sustainable projects in the community. The show was filmed by the crew and was included in the documentary.
