Student Commons Main Gallery, 907 Floyd Avenue, Richmond

A exhibition of work from  Casey Bianco, Sarah Holden, Soo Kim, Jessica Lee, and Josefina Stephens. These students have been researching recycling fibers in response to the large amount of muslin scraps wasted each day in the fashion design department. Through out the duration of this project they have been collecting muslin scraps from design studios, keeping track of how much is wasted, all with the hope of creating a fabric recycling program. While collaborating with each other the students, who come from various areas of study including fashion, fibers, and metals, have created many one of kind garments and accessories that showcase their creative abilities along with minimizing waste. The exhibition is made possible by a VCUarts Undergraduate Research Grant.
