The Recycled Fashion Library Exhibit will have its unveiling on April 22 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

A recycled fashion show is close to making its grand spring debut at Fresno City College once again.

The Recycled Fashion Library Exhibit will have its unveiling on April 22 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The exhibit in the college library will feature unique outfits made from fashion magazines, coffee filters, home décor items, packing material and food and trash bags.

Linda Kobashigawa, FCC librarian, said students from the Fashion Merchandising course at the college created 11 unique outfits this year,

The designers were inspired by this year’s runway fashion shows, she said. Students are also aiming to educate students about tasteful and ethical fashion production.

A bin will be available at the show for people to donate their used clothes in an effort to reduce the waste of clothing and textiles.

The free event is open to the public and will include a runway show.

The full library exhibit will run from April 22 to May 12 in the college library.
