Fashion Club in Full Swing!

While our Fashion Club project is really top secret, it's essential to tease our followers with some progress photos.  I know you're so intrigued by this process and cannot wait to attend the Recycled Runway Fashion show on June 3 at the Corning Museum of Glass.
Fashionista Assembly Line
In order to complete this project, we built an assembly line of teens to create the silver jacket for our "Glitter Ghost" look.  If you have a Blue Apron subscription, you may recognize the packaging!
From Mess to Mesh
Ashti holds up the 2 hours worth of work to reveal the mesh from the mess.
Our model, Claire assembled the start of the accessories for this fashion.  

Sandwiched Imagery
Sara, our model from 2016, prepared the pants legs by sandwiching images from tissue paper packaging with clear mylar and plastic bags found in the SSC Library offices.

Lydia shows a sample of the wig we are creating.  The final look will be very textural and voluminous.  Remember folding your gum wrappers this way and making bracelets?

The countdown is here with the show less than 60 days away.  The pressure is on to get this fashion look complete and refined!  Stay tuned for more sneak peeks at our progress and be sure to attend this annual fundraiser for The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes.
