Who will win this year’s Project Upcycle: Streetwear Edition?! Join us in-person at 3S for the Runway Event, become part of the thrill and excitement, enjoy tasty bites and beverages, and celebrate this year’s designers during 3S’ biggest fundraising event of the year!
3S Artspace, in partnership with Recovergirl seeks to promote regional designers and sustainable fashion in the 5th annual Project Upcycle design competition.
Eight designers will put their skills to the test in this wildly creative and fast-paced design challenge, transforming end-runs, deadstock, material, and/or excess inventory from some of New England’s most innovative brands to bring us their own fresh take on New England streetwear.
The design challenge takes place October 19-21 and culminates in the Project Upcycle Runway Event on October 21.
With the support of community role models, designs will be modeled on the catwalk during Saturday night’s Runway Event! Designers will compete for cash prizes and will be judged on execution, creative reuse of materials, and styling by our elite panel of judges. As an attendee, you’ll also have the chance to cast your vote for the “Audience Choice” prize!
