Trash to Fashion Awards 2008 LogoTrash to Fashion® Awards

The Trash to Fashion® Awards show began as a small community based celebration over a decade ago, born from a community that embraces a sustainability ethos. Waitakere is recognized as New Zealand's first "Eco City".

Based on the ethos of Recycle - Reuse - Reduce - Refuse, Trash to Fashion® is an arts and cultural experience that now spans all ages, beginning with preschool, continuing through the primary, intermediate and secondary school, and culminating with New Zealand's largest theatrical and visual experience of its type, receiving regional, national, and international recognition.

About Trash to Fashion®

  • Trash to Fashion® the show, is the end product of an event that aims to provide its contestants with the chance to design and create costumes out of recycled, inorganic and organic materials. It's an opportunity to make something wonderful from those things that are left over, and usually thrown away.
     
  • The concept originated in 1996 as part of Keep Waitakere Beautiful's Operation Spring Clean, and was run jointly by KWB and Waitakere City Council. The event is co-ordinated by the Arts Team at the Council.
     
  • Trash to Fashion® has become New Zealand's largest recycled fashion show drawing designers and audiences from throughout the country and internationally. It attracts participation from a variety of groups, cultures, and abilities including established and emerging designers.
     
  • Many schools introduce Trash to Fashion® as a curriculum activity.
     
  • Responsible for creating the show is a production team that bring their individual arts disciplines together to conjure up the unique Trash to Fashion® entertainment experience.
     
  • Contact Jeannette Aldridge if you have any questions or wish to join the Trash to Fashion® mailing list.
