This year marks the 6th anniversary of the award-winning program and is sure to be a hit. Read on for more information about how you can be a part of this year's TRASHion Fashion program.

Instead of throwing that cardboard coffee sleeve into the recycling bin, why not wear it as a bracelet or a leg warmer? Sound weird? That's the type of thinking that went into the creation of Denton's Trashion Fashion Program. The award-winning program is now in its fifth year. The City of Denton's Solid Waste and Recycling Department, SCRAP Denton, Keep Denton Beautiful and a few other awesome local organizations use the Trashion Fashion initiative to invite designers of all ages to create clothing (or what they call "wearable art") from materials that would otherwise end up recycled or in a landfill. At the same time, the program also promotes recycling and creative reuse. College fashion design students enter, as well as primary/secondary school students, and adults. Every year, they see designs that really earn that "wearable art" title. This year is one of the most impressive we've seen as far as designs and photography goes. Read on to see a small preview of this year's show.
Read MoreWHAT WE DID: APRIL 20TH 2015
Every Monday morning, we take a look at the photos that have been tagged with #WDDI on Instagram and post some of our favorites in a column we call What We Did. We're almost up to 20,000 all time tags of #WDDI since we started this weekly column a in 2013. Believe it or not, but every week there's a bunch of awesome photos that (due to space limitations), we don't get to feature. We highly encourage you to search Instagram for #WDDI to check out all of the tagged photos on Instagram that we are unable to feature.
We love getting to see what everyone is up to in Denton every week. Seeing all of the different stuff everyone is up to always amazes us, and it really helps that you all take such beautiful photos. Click on the images below to be led back to that photographer's Instagram account where you can like their photo(s) or follow them. Stay close to the blog this week, too. We've got some fun stuff in the works that we think you'll really enjoy. Thanks for readin' and taggin'. Have a great week!
