TRASHION FASHION AT REDBUD 2015

Instead of throwing that cardboard coffee sleeve into the recycling bin, why not wear it as a cuff 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 fourth year and keeps getting better and better. 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. College fashion design students enter, as well as pubic school students and adults. Every year, they see designs that really earn that "wearable art" title; impressive garbs from all ages made from items as inconspicuous as dryer sheets or newspaper clippings.

WHAT WE DID: APRIL 6TH 2015

What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got a handful of images from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX. And what a week it was. Saturday, alone, was Doctor Who Day, The DIME Store's 2nd birthday, and the opening of the Community Market for this year. And that was just Saturday! Once again, we did go a little bit beyond our self-imposed 20 photos per post rule with this one, but just because there were so many good ones.

Harvest House, which started as a house show venue opened during this year's 35 Denton event and has since been embraced by the Denton community and packed to the gills every weekend night.
