Beginning in 2007, on a runway made of overturned dumpsters, the Trashion Show has a long history of awe-inspiring creations made entirely out of discards. You might wonder if these early Spring fashions were shipped from Milan, but we can assure you that they’ve all been pulled right out of a local dumpster!
