Students from 9 local schools submitted garments this year from three elementary, three middle, and three high schools. Rubbish Renewed has become a venue where young, inspired designers have a chance to try their hand at a public runway event. It takes tenacity, confidence, optimism, inspiration, and a willingness to fail and push through to create and submit a runway worthy garment. Recent studies have found that life success is not based on IQ or a felicity with academics, but in fact, the characteristics shared above. These young designers also showcase a love of the planet, by working with refuse.
The early show features student garments along side our business challenge and auction pieces. Come and support these burgeoning designers on Thursday, January 16th! All ages runway @ 6pm with doors at 5pm.

Hey Artists, Designers, and Eco-enthusiasts, it’s time to buckle down and get your Rubbish Renewed designs moving beyond concept into garment. Yesterday after school, we had a handful of students taking their designs to the next phase. Material fabrication. Watching budding fashion designers problem solving their way through material glitches and the challenges of concept visualization to design is awe inspiring. True grit. How gritty are you?
Cuppa Yo in progress.
Photos like these can give the jury a sense of the materials and construction.
Two weeks from today, on Thursday, December 5th, is the runway submission deadline. Complete submission packets include: completed form (back page of packet); fashion description; fee ($20 adults, $10 high school and younger); and 3 quality photos of completed garment OR your piece in progress + a detailed sketch.
Remember, you don’t need to have your garment completed, but the further along you are, the easier for the jury to recognize your vision in your photos and artist renderings.
If you’ve been eying our newly posted Rubbish Renewed galleries
over the last few weeks, you have witnessed the distinctive talent of Tambi Lane. From year one, Tambi has donated her time and talents not only at the Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show event, but from the early stages of visioning.
Tambi’s website sta
tes, “While always about the art created, it is also about the experience creating it.” There’s no question about this if you’ve ever been to one of her photo shoots. Tambi is a master of producing a comfortable atmosphere and a mood that inspires beauty, concept, and art, both from behind the lens and working with a diverse clientele, ranging from wee ones to high school seniors to newlyweds.
For Rubbish Renewed, Tambi illuminates the vision. From her pre-event studio photography to her live capture of the runway show itself, she conveys the essence of the experience. Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show wouldn’t be the show it is today without the fashion inspired, style-capturing images of Tambi Lane.
Check out her website, Tambi Lane Photography, and even better, schedule a session. It is empowering.
I’m not a TV watcher per say, but I do check out Project Runway online. Right now Project Runway All Stars Season 3 is running. A lot of drama: tears, justification, ranting . . . but when it comes to the unconventional challenge, the creativity
