Wearing trash with pride
From the first annual Fashion Trashion show put on Friday night by the Studio Art program at University of Minnesota, Morris. The students in the beginning art classes designed and constructed outfits out of trash and recycled materials, and then put on a full runway show with judges, jokes, and way too much fun. They had an enormous SRO turnout - far larger than anyone expected. It was a great end to the day of the Undergraduate Research Symposium day - a wonderful dessert at the end of a rich and varied meal.
Jess Larson asked me to take photos at the event, and in the end I took well over 1,000 photos. I'm in the process of sifting out the obviously broken ones, and am posting the rest to my events account. I'd start to what I think are the better 1/3, and then head to the rest if you're really bored.
At the moment I'm only about halfway through (646 photos posted), and it's likely to be a few days to a week before I finish the job. (I really am supposed to be grading and other things connected to my "real job".)
I don't know how many I'll ever clean and post here, but I figured I'd do one quick before I read a few of my students' article summaries for tomorrow :-).
Thanks to everyone involved in Fashion Trashion for putting on a really tremendous show!
