Have you ever seen environmental science students collaborate with fashion students for a fashion show? Never! Well you have the chance to be a part of this amazing event during Earth Week in April and have the chance to make your voice heard and gain leadership skills by creating this awesome event.
The first ever Eco-friendly fashion show is being created by the CSULB's Environmental Science and Policy club and partnering with Fashion Merchandising and Design students. The show will be featured during CSULB's Earth Week 2012 during April 23-28 as one of the big events of the week.
President of the Environmental Science and Policy Club, Brianna R. Pagan, is looking for volunteers to be a part of this great networking opportunity. It is an amazing chance to help create a fashion show from scratch and will look great on a resume. This is such an awesome experience, I decided to join myself.
"Students will be working on creating a fashion show with two environmentally inspired scenes. Scene one will consist of practical "upcycled" clothing. Designers are expected to create pieces from scraps, local made material or reconstruct already made clothing (preferably bought at a local thrift store). Scene two will be more unpractical and focus on making clothing from unconventional items such as cardboard boxes, plastic bottles and other recyclables or what other people see as "trash". The theme for scene 2 will be about the "trash island" located in the Pacific Ocean," said Project Coordinator and President of the Environmental Science and Policy Club, Brianna R. Pagan.
She also said that, "You do not have to be an Environmental Science student to learn how to reduce your carbon footprint. Not very many people attribute green efforts to the fashion scene, however there are huge efforts being put on by the fashion industry to create more eco-friendly clothes that appeal to the public. The actual scenes in the show serve to inspire creativity. I want students to see that what some see as trash, can be made into an art form."
