My Athens and Olives & Wax Vintage present The Repurposing Project, a fashion show featuring Athens’s incredible talent and commitment to sustainability in a totally new way!
We give designers a bag of old clothes. They have three weeks to turn it into something new.
The Repurposing Project will be April 3, at the Georgia Theatre, from 6-9. The show will feature two dozen designers, showcasing the talent that defines Athens. Each designer will present one look — stitched, cut and dyed from their bag of used garments — and our panel of judges will select a winner!
My Athens will also be debuting our 2016 photo gallery at the show, telling our story of the city over the last year through photos. Volume IV of our photo book collection, featuring the 2016 gallery images, will be for sale at the event as well.
Following the show, stick around for a dance party on the main floor of the Georgia Theatre to celebrate all the talented designers and models who are working so hard to make this possible.
Join us for a night celebrating the incredible amount of creativity in the Athens fashion scene and support up and coming designers from all over the city! Get tickets here.
