Two is not a trend. Three isn’t either — except in journalism. Yet there’s something going on.

Last week, the Texas Campaign for the Environment staged a fashion show of apparel made from recycled material. The Trash Makeover Challenge filled the pleasantly warm Delta Lumber & Millworks with green types, but also fashionistas hoping to make a splash from their creative designs and products.
I especially liked Aidan Liller’s reuse of fashion labels. The detailing may have proved too small for the judges to see, but the concept and execution was impressive.

Next week, Tribeza will stage a similar fashion show with a recycling theme during its annual Style Week. How cool is that? It falls on Wednesday right in the middle of the crowded festivities.

Back to the TCE event. I attended due to a strong lobbying effort from former mayoral candidate Brigid Shea. Shea is one of those people who can get you on the phone and make it seem like a sin that you did or didn’t do something worthwhile. In this case, that power of persuasion was a very good thing.
