Description

Created to showcase at Bend, Oregon's Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show, this sustainable garment is designed from fabric created by fusing plastic New York Times and Les Schwab bags with caution tape.  This hip, up-cycled piece is adjustable on the top with drawstrings woven through two lines of grommets, and coupled with the skirt's velcro closure, allows flexible sizing from 4-8.


Karen Holm designed and created the skirt from New York Times bags and collaborated with friend, Midda Vishnevska, on the top (made from fabric created by Karen’s students), completing the set.


This one-of-a-kind art piece is a show stopper at any party.  Feel confident you are wearing the most environmentally forward thinking piece in the room.
