“The fashion industry has a history of neglecting the environment with the increase of fast fashion, which creates large amounts of waste that end up in landfills,” said Maxine Lucero, fashion merchandising and design program assistant in Family & Consumer Sciences. “This is a great concern to our students. They have found creative ways to upcycle and recycle materials and clothing for new and innovative designs.”
The event will also have live music, a photo booth, free flowers, and senior recognitions. It is free to the public but there’s limited seating available.
