Thank you to the KFWB board members for serving as judges of the contest:
A special thank you to District 9 Councilmember Elizabeth Beck for emceeing the event.
Keep Fort Worth Beautiful continually encourages Fort Worth to use less stuff, be it through reducing, reusing or recycling items that would otherwise be thrown away and discarded. KFWB came up with a unique way of educating people to be more conscious of waste through fashion.
Creative minds from all over Fort Worth were asked to design runway-ready looks and take part in the 2024 Trashion Fashion Show. The basic criteria were that all design submissions be comprised of at least 50% trash or recyclable items. All participants were invited to walk the stage and show off their pieces at Earth Party, a celebration honoring volunteers of the Cowtown Great American Cleanup hosted by Keep Fort Worth Beautiful.
In all, 21 designs were submitted, ranging from aluminum cans, pull tabs, cereal boxes, packaging foam, chip bags and even an old tent. We're all winners if we rethink our waste into resources and work to keep our city litter free.
