Times are tough.  If you’ve got a formal coming up at your local Rotary Club and have nothing to wear you might consider hitting a local dumpster for raw materials for your next eye-popping gown.

Artist Nancy Judd of Recycle Runway transforms upcycled everyday refuse into funky eco couture.  Her eco fashion collection is featured in airport exhibits across the US.  Nancy’s work was featured at the recent Green Inaugural Ball in Washington DC.  pictured above: “Faux Fur Jacket” created from cassette tape and a Target sponsored piece called “Recycled Fiesta.”
