ReStyle a huge sucess!

ReStyle was a huge sucess!

It was a night of glitz and glam at the 2010 ReStyle wearable arts show held on the 7th of August. There were eight fantastic entrants into Habitat’s Reconstrut category. Designers used second hand materials from Habitat’s ReStore including at least one construction material to create their outfit. Outfits included materials like wire, building paper, caution tape and even a cement trowel for a hat! The fashion show had more than 80 entries. The overall winning outfit took three years to make and was created from more than 2500 bread tags welded together with fishing nylon. The intent of the outfit was to raise awareness of ocean pollution, showing just how much impact a small insignificant everyday plastic item can have on the environment. Congratulations to all the entrants and thank you to all the attendees for supporting Habitat for Humanity with your donations of pre-loved outfits to be sold in our ReStore.
