THE RUBBISH RENEWED RUNWAY KILLS IT IN STYLE
Bishops Barbershop rockin’ the hair styling
The jury is in; the 5th annual Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion show was the best ever! More fun, more energy and more style. We couldn’t have done it without the nimble hands of the stylists from Bishops Barbershop and Posh Salon & Spa. The green room pulsed with creative garment connections, slick cohesion and quick turnaround. More than 40 models, styled masterfully, walked the runway to the upbeat music from Flip Flop Sounds.
A few of our sponsors also set the style tone:
Posh Solon brightening faces.
Models Autumn Weeks & Caleb Campbell
Urban Orchid provides a wide array of services from relaxing facials, trust-worthy brow design, to hydrating spa manicures and pedicures.
Lulu’s Boutique has an eye for what people like and is truly passionate about bringing great style and reasonably priced fashion to Bend.
Plantlife Clothing an organic design based company, strives to show the beautiful relationship between natures geometric patterns and the forces and frequencies that bind us all.
Wabi Sabi sells Cool Japanese Stuff. A quote from Yelp states, “The best collectibles! Japanese decor, toys, and gifts. Really nice staff. I loved this store!”

The Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show showcases how we “fashion” our lives while lessening waste. Thanks to all of our sponsors (linked on the side bar), designers, models, marketplace vendors, and volunteers for making it the best show ever!
A special thanks to Kimberly Harwood, Misa Olsen & others who jumped in to help facilitate a chic and timely styling.
Local Libations, food carts, and mason jars for beverages this year!
Graphic Design: Allison Murphy Printing by Dan Wellisch; Owner of Flash Ink
Rubbish Renewed is a truly local event! A fundraiser for a local charter school rooted in Bend since 2001, REALMS Charter School, artists and models from Central Oregon, local food carts (The Pizza Cart, Bethyln’s Global Fusion, Shred Town), and even down to our beverage service, beverage choices and newly branded Rubbish Renewed mason jars printed by a local company, Flash Ink. When it comes to beverages, we know that everyone has their loyalties and favorites. We can ensure, with the diversity of local businesses supporting this event, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
We are thrilled and thankful to welcome back many businesses that have supported this grassroots endeavor since 2010. We have Velvet back for the 5th year, providing our drink service for both shows. They will be serving Boneyard Beer, cocktails made from the finest vodka, Crater Lake Vodka produced by Bend Distillery , wine from Naked Winery, Far Afield Cider, the newest Bend cidery, and Humm Kombucha.
As we continue to work towards “zero waste” with the help of Rethink Waste, we have Rubbish Renewed branded mason jars to purchase for $8 at the event. People will get $1 off each drink with a jar purchase. From the talent behind the show, the artist’s marketplace, the local food and drink, we sought a local company to brand our new drinking jars and couldn’t be happier working with Dan at Flash Ink. His responsiveness and desire to beat any online company made it an easy sell for us to once again go local.
So why local? We all know that it has become increasingly cheaper to buy distantly produced goods, despite the increased costs of packaging and transport. Here are some shocking stats & quick facts about buying local goods.
- Aircraft transport has greater fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions per mile than any other mode of transport.
- Transportation by shipping produces emissions of 1 billion metric tons of CO2 and uses 11 billion gallons of fuel per year internationally.
- The EPA reports that trucks spend 3,221 of their 6,816 hours on the road each year at an idle. 1.2 billion gallons of fuel and about 200,000 tons of nitrous oxides are expended each year by transport trucks idling at rest stops.
We hope to see you at the show next week! Remember to come early to grab a seat, drink, food from local food carts, shop in our local marketplace, and enjoy our eco-silent auction.
Refuse Remover: Sonic Solutions

How lucky are we, at Rubbish Renewed, to have Sonic Solutions as one of our headline sponsors? With all the contraptions that we need to pull off this spectacular event, including the stage, lighting, sound system and general spectacularness, we would have no idea how to go about it. Sonic Solutions has been instrumental behind the scenes for Rubbish Renewed each year. They create the underlying canvas for the artists to adorn. Thanks Sonic Solutions for elevating us to the level of professionalism that even Snoop Dog and Taj Mahal come to expect!
Sonic Solutions provides high quality live audio systems, concert lighting and back line rentals for national touring artist, regional acts, local musicians, dj’s, festivals, weddings, and corporate events.

Behind the Scene Designer Series: Artist 3 – N Spekktor
Our third artist in the Behind the Scene Designer Series, N Spekktor, has participated in Rubbish Renewed every year since 2010. N Spekktor is one of the few Rubbish Renewed artists who works as a fashion designer, in real life, outside of her passion for trash fashion. Each year she’s produced a spectacular piece for our 21 and older show. Last year N Spekktor generously donated her piece, Bags to Ballroom, for our live auction. We can’t wait to see what N Spekktor has in store for this year’s event that is transforming trash and inspiring community for a more sustainable earth.

Artist 3 – N Spekktor
RR: What do you do in real life when you’re not designing and creating trash fashion?
N Spekktor: I’m a Fashion/Graphic Designer, Event Coordinator, and Co-Producer of Beat Lab 92.9 FM. Over the past year I have traveled throughout the west coast showcasing my first ever swimsuit line and taking on collaborative projects with other designers such as Burning Artist Collective in Reno, NV.
RR: What hooked you on our Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show event?
N Spekktor: I heard about this wonderful show from a friend and loved the cause. Not only do I get to play a part in Eco Fashion, but I get to support an amazing school.
Designer: N Spekktor
Materials: Newspaper & plastic garbage bags
RR: What inspires your creations?
N Spekktor: Each year I have created a different look using a variety of materials. This year I will be collaborating with a local business to create something that has never been on the Rubbish Renewed Runway.
RR: What is one thing you want to say to all the aspiring young designers?
N Spekktor: No matter how much they bully you or try to hold you back, please remember only you know what you are truly capable of. Don’t ever let anyone stop you. I did it and so can you.
The 5th annual Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show welcomes N Spekktor into the Business Challenge competition as the designer for Stringsoil garment this season! Thanks N Spekktor for your dedication to sustainability through your creative fashion vision. We can’t wait to see what you pull out of the midden.
