Bloomington Fashion is hitting the runway at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater tonight for the 9th annual Trashion Refashion Show. Prior to the show, I had the honor of photographing the submissions from the IU Fashion Design students who were participating in the show this year. Their designs are a wonderful mix of traditional styling and artistic interpretations, all revolving around the theme of upcycling materials that were destined for the landfill. These lookbook photos come together to tell the fashion story of Professor Matranga's class and the talented designers that created these incredible designs.
For each design, read the caption for details about the designer, and click the photo or link below to view more photos of that design.
