runway reimagined with value village



December 9, 2015

If you know me at all, you know that some of my favorite haunts are thrift stores. So naturally when I hear of an event that elevates and shines a light on the amazingness of thrifted fashion, I’m there.
In Downtown Seattle’s Axis, Value Village laid out a runway to feature designers and stylists in collaboration with Eco Fashion Week. Creatives showed what you can do with recycled clothes, from reassembling and reimagining to styling in new ways. The result was a  ‘wow’ factor. I’m an avid thrift store junkie, and this even inspired me to take my game to a new level.
In addition to the unique items and affordable prices, you really do something great when you shop second-hand. Value Village reports that as the largest textile recyclers in the world, they are responsible for keeping more than 650 million pounds of goods from reaching landfills annually. Now that’s pretty cool!

    Great shot of the bookcase, I think that was my favorite part of the place. It was fun hanging out a little at the event!

HELLO

Decor and home with a little bit of daydreaming and real life sprinked in. My husband and I are slowly updating our 1900 Dutch Colonial. I love hunting for vintage and flying the pacific northwest and the world with my aviator husband.
