2024. “Reuse on the Runway”, hosted by Austin Creative Reuse

May 4, 2024 at Branch Park Pavilion inside Mueller’s Mary Elizabeth Branch Park, Austin, TX

It’s been a dream of mine for a while now to see my garment-like pieces come to life. They reference the body when hanging on the wall, but it was a new experience to see them activated on a runway. Such a treat! Scroll to the bottom of this photo gallery to see each piece as it was originally exhibited in a gallery setting.

Reuse on the Runway is a community fashion show for makers and creators of all kinds, hosted by Austin Creative Reuse. Learn more about the event here.
