At Laguna Beach’s 2011 Festival of Arts, a runway fashion show featured designs that festival exhibitors “created from at least 80% reused, recycled or reclaimed materials.”
Artist Brad Elsberry won the first prize of $1,000 for the second year in a row. His bridal gown and train was made of clear, plastic dry-cleaner bags with a strapless, backless bodice overlaid with “lace” made from white metal hangers. Even the bouquet was recycled — it was fashioned from laundry tickets and receipts.
