Project Recycle Runway Tuesday in Manassas

MANASSAS, VA — As fashion shows go, this one's a bit different from ones in, say, Paris or New York. Those models rely on designers to provide their wardrobe.

Not in this fashion show, though.

It's Project Recycle Runway, and the models (ages 9-13) painstakingly made their outfits by using clothing and other modified textiles from a Savers thrift stores.

It's scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Martin K. Alloy Boys & Girls Club, 9501 Dean Park Lane, in honor of America Recycles Day.

After their shopping trip to Savers, the students gathered the goods and began creating their own designs.

Judges will be from the city, American Disposal Services, Savers and the Citizens Advisory Council on Solid Waste.

Donations of gently used clothing is requested.
