Trashion: Where Eco-Art Meets Fashion and Fun

Last August, Cincinnati’s ish arts organization hosted Trashion, a unique and immersive eco-art fashion experience that aimed to promote waste reduction and sustainability. Held at the Mockbee, Trashion showcased teen-designed clothing that celebrated creative fashion design while advocating for a sustainable future.

To create an immersive experience, the event was hosted in the spirit of vogue balls in drag culture, and participants created their own “house” with a general theme for the designs created by their group.

The highlight of Trashion was an upcycled costume fashion show, where teen designers showcased their creations, which were made entirely from recycled or upcycled materials. The designs were judged by a panel of fashion experts who evaluated the originality, creativity, and sustainability of each outfit. The event also featured a range of other attractions such as music, circus performers, and a silent disco.
