Trash To Fashion becomes an international event
Appropriately located in the heart of New Zealand's Eco-City, this event focuses on sustainability and environmental issues through fashion design competition. This year it reached new heights of recognition and artistic quality.
Trash To Fashion delivered its promise of showcasing glamour and creativity from recycled materials to nearly 4000 attendees at this year's event held at the Trusts Stadium in Henderson, Waitakere.
Over the past 11 years this event has grown to the point where it attracts international entries which this year included several from the US and one from Australia. National entries range the whole of the North Island as well as the South Island.
Eight categories were presented throughout the show, interspersed with artistically performed interludes which followed a continuous narrative.
Supreme and multi-award winner Amethyst Parker enthuses "I love this event, I've entered three times previously because it really pushes my thinking on what materials can be used in new and exciting ways so it makes me be resourceful. I think that's important for stimulating design and creativity .I also love the fact that these awards introduce new people to sustainable living and design."
In addition to her other wins Amethyst received a special prize at the awards which recognised her exceptional abilities in creative design and will aid her quest for design excellence - $2000 worth of study grant donated by UNITEC.
Some of the more unusual materials utilised by finalists this year included 1960s doll faces, a bird cage, garden hoses, bicycle parts, Xrays and also American yoghurt tops.
