Recycle Runway Arrives in Atlanta on April 1
Eighteen “Recycle Runway” fashions will be installed in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport beginning April 1, 2011. The eco-fashion exhibit will be displayed in nine cases located throughout international Concourse E. Between 10 to 13 million people are expected to pass through the terminal during this year-long display.
Santa Fe artist Nancy Judd is the eco-fashionista behind the exhibit. Her couture garments include faux fur jackets made with endless loops of cassette and video tape, a dress made of origami junk mail, fans sewn together like fish scales, a dress made from dry cleaning bags, and an evening gown glittering with thousands of pieces of recycled crushed glass (photo at left).
“My exhibitions use glamorous trash fashions to encourage people in a fun and creative context to live lighter on the earth,” says Judd. “The Atlanta exhibition provides an amazing opportunity to reach countless people with education about conservation.” More
