Etsy Trashion Trunk Show

Trashion Barrette The new [tag]Etsy[/tag] [tag]Trashion[/tag] Street Team, made up of more than 70 artists from around the world, will present a Trashion [tag]Trunk Show[/tag] 6 to 8 p.m., Friday, July 27, at Etsy Labs in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The goal of the Etsy Trashion Team is to visualize beauty in unconventional objects and materials. Their members fabricate art, jewelry, fashion and objects for the home from used, thrown-out and found elements. The founders of the team say, “Trashion is a philosophy and an ethic. It encompasses environmentalism and innovation, and respects the human creative and healing potential. Making traditional objects out of [tag]recycled[/tag] or [tag]upcycled[/tag] materials can be trashion. Making avant-garde fashion out of cast-offs or junk can be trashion.”

In preparation for the trunk show, the team has opened an Etsy shop, where a couple of dozen items, such as the recycled [tag]bottlecap[/tag] button and denim flower barrette (shown, by dismantled), can be found.
