Google on "Discarded To Divine". It's an example of "Altered Couture", another thing to Google on. Discarded to Divine is a yearly fashion show sponsored by the St. Vincent de Paul in San Francisco, for recycling fabric things too trashed for them to be willing to sell. They turn this stuff over to designers who do altered couture, then hold a fashion show, the profits going to some charity they are into. There should be photos from former shows on their site. I am informed this year's show is coming up soon. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
