Design Guidelines
This fashion show will feature one-of-a-kind creations by artists using recycled or repurposed materials.
All recycled materials are acceptable. Materials used by designers in past years include plastic bags, feathers, warming blankets from a marathon, CDs and DVDs, newspaper, dryer lint, old tarps, candy wrappers, vinyl records, used videotape, and much more. Sew, weave or assemble your materials. Please label the sketch of your design so the panel can clearly imagine your vision.
The final product needs to be a transformative creation. Create high fashion from other people’s castaways. Creating something new from something old is essential – just wearing old clothes doesn’t count. The Design Panel prefers proposals which truly transform materials to be unrecognizable from their original purpose.
Model your own work or design and recruit a model. If you’d like to design but don’t want to strut the runway, find a model – and a muse! Models will be required to attend a training session near the show date.
Collaborate if you want. Collaborative design teams are a great way to tackle a creative dream and build relationships. We all know flights of fancy that can happen when creative people get together! The fashion show is a fun way for inspired coworkers or crafty friends to work together for a great cause.
Organic material is okay if it’s found, but please don’t denude any trees in pursuit of fashion. Label your design sketch so the panel can identify the materials you plan on using.
The means of construction don’t have to be recycled. It’s okay to use thread or staples or tape to hold things together.
Hair and makeup: Professional hair styling and makeup are available upon request. If requested, you will be required to consult with your hair/makeup artist.
Proposals: You can submit as many design proposals as you wish, but in order to include as many designers as possible, we may have to limit the number of accepted designs and or runway walks per designer. Some designers will have multiple designs accepted as long as they can walk down the runway together (i.e. a couple or a grouped theme).
Tips and Notes for 2020: To celebrate the 9th Season of ReCouture, audience members will be asked to “Dress up to the Nines.” You are welcome to design an ensemble within that theme, but designs are not limited to any theme. The 2020 Panel is especially interested in seeing more men's fashion. They will also be looking for submissions that are thorough and will make a big impression, so go for the outrageous, the unusual and the spectacular!
