We’re doing something a little different this year..
The highly anticipated, anxiously awaited, enthusiastically awaited event of the spring is joining forces with Revelstoke’s Re-Fest for 2024 and will be taking place on Saturday, May 25th on 2nd street west (just outside of the Sugar Shack) in the evening!
Join us for an unforgettable celebration of creativity and sustainability at the 2024 Trashion Show. Participants will fashion imaginative outfits using nothing but garbage and recyclables, showcasing the beauty of eco-friendly fashion. Cheer on the models as they strut their stuff on the runway, inspiring us all to embrace sustainable living in style. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness innovation and environmental consciousness come together in a fun and festive atmosphere!
Trashion is a portmanteau of “trash” and “fashion,” referring to the practice of creating fashion items or outfits using discarded materials or items that would otherwise be considered waste. It’s a form of sustainable fashion that promotes recycling, upcycling, and creativity by turning trash into wearable art.
