All the fabric for the stunning pieces were donated by Goodwill and given a second life through creative hands. “I think the dress feels really comfortable to start with,” said University of Calgary student and show model Glory Okeleke. “I think just the knowledge that this was made out of a quilt before and seeing how it can be used and designed into something that’s beautiful, is very special.”A fashion show held in Calgary on Saturday helped convert trash to treasure in an effort to raise awareness about reducing over consumption.
“They see it as a global problem. It’s too big for me. I can’t solve it on my own. I think we can’t solve it on our own but I think we can take those small actions in our community and we can think about the clothes we buy and that’s what the fashion show is about, because everything is made out of recycled fabrics,” said Kotikalapudi, a fourth year biomedical sciences student at the University of Calgary.
The show featured nine outfits, each inspired by a distinct colour of the Indian festival Navaratri reflected in colours of grey to more vibrant selections. The project’s organizer said she started off at grey in her outlook towards the environment but has since transitioned, much like the renewal of the fabric from trash to treasure.
