Trashion Exhibit: Awareness through Art

Junk to Funk, a local company dedicated to trash fashion, has recently set up an installation in the heart of downtown Portland. When I heard the theme of the exhibition, Single Use Disposables: Convenience or Conundrum, my inner TfP soul just had to learn more! The display focuses on three of the most thrown away packaging products in the world: plastic bags, coffee cups and plastic beverage bottles. I decided to finally check it out on my lunch break today and it is stunning! If you are any bit interested in fashion, recycling, costumes, upcycling, art installations or curbing wastefulness, this is the exhibit for you. Here's a sneak peak:

Please go check it out! You can see more outfits, how they made the costumes and the facts on the wastefulness of the three products. The show will be displayed through October on the corner of SW 9th and Morrison. Take a look for yourself!
