Fashion Reborn - Auto Italia South-East Gallery





The Midnight Blue Collective hosting an open, interactive exhibition looking at the concept of recycling in the fashion world.
Trends in fashion come and go, with popular looks from previous decades making sometimes surprising comebacks (think leg warmers) – but some designers take the notion of recycling more literally, re-using materials to make new, must-have clothes and accessories.
This exhibition was held in an abandoned car show room, in a sense recycled itself having been taken over by art students and turned into a gallery – looks at the ways in which different designers have taken materials from a variety of sources to create new items, from shoes (Worn Again Trainers) to fanciful re-interpretations of history (The Rubbish Fairy).
