NEW ORLEANS FASHION WEEK
Saturday, July 18th
Fashion Show: 8-11pm
After Party: 11pm-2amHowlin’ Wolf
907 S. Peters StreetThis Saturday may well be the socially conscious social event of the season - Recycle for the Arts (R4A), a program of The Green Project, brings us WORN AGAIN nola3, a fashion show that challenges all participating designers to turn the random recycled materials they are given into wearable works of art. Okay, so it may not be quite as glamorous as New York Fashion Week, but it’s a hell of a lot greener (and more creative, if you ask us.) After the fashion show, the recycled fun continues with the famous “Old Skool vs. New Skool” Recycled Dance Competition, a dance-off choreographed and performed by local dance troupes.
You can get tickets to the fashion show, dance competition, and after party for just $15, and all proceeds go to R4A, which supplies low-cost art supplies to the ever-creative New Orleans community. It’s hard to imagine this city without its artists, and R4A works to ensure that no talent goes unnoticed due to lack of affordable materials. So we’ll see y’all there - in your favorite recycled cardboard/newspaper/Heineken bottle outfit, of course. And don’t forget your dancin’ shoes, cause the after party will be rocking till 2am!
