3rd Annual Eco-Fashion & Art Show (2013)The Eco-Fashion and Art Show is a night to celebrate art and music by seeing eco-fashion on the runway, a recycled art gallery, and music, all showcasing the talents of Santa Clara students! Student designers and artists are asked to reuse old or recyclable materials that would normally have to go to landfill to creatively create a piece of art that not only is durable, but actually looks hip and fashionable and can either be worn again or can be recycled after the show. No money is supposed to be spent on this project, so designers are using old clothes they don’t wear anymore, getting scraps of fabric and other materials for our campus’s Costume Shop, etc.! What else, besides “trash” and recycling is this show about? The fashion industry! We’ll be talking about the impact of fashion on economic, social, and environmental levels, including the lives of the factory workers that manufacture the clothes we wear, the impact of our clothing’s dyes, and other ties that are related to the environment and sustainability. For the first time ever, the Eco-Fashion Show has teamed up with de Saisset's College Night. Join us for a FREE night of art and entertainment at the de Saisset Museum on campus from 7- 10 pm! Programmedbystudentsforstudents, College Night includes a range of activities from hands-on art to photo booths to docent tours, portrait gallery viewings, and a scavenger hunt.
