Austin Creative Reuse (ACR) has launched an open call for designers for its fourth reuse fashion show, taking place this September.
Reuse on the Runway: A Night of Fashion, Costume, and Drag will feature designs primarily composed of reused or recycled materials. Pieces in past shows have used a wide range of materials such as discarded frozen vegetable packaging, receipt paper, used lotería cards, and home design samples.

In a press release, Carole LeClair, ACR’s Board President, said, “Our goal is to challenge creatives to look at materials in new ways and to inspire the audience to rethink how they view fashion — that fashion can be both spectacular and sustainable. We look forward to celebrating a range of unique and diverse creators at this year’s show.”
