The annual event, put on by the RE Store, features pieces constructed by both amateur and seasoned designers that are made entirely from items found in garbage cans and waste dumps.
"It's a combination of amazement and inspiration and laughter, because some of it is just downright wacky or absurd," said RE Store education and marketing coordinator Jason Darling.
The aim is to encourage individuals to recycle and not be wasteful.
"I hope they'll take home some of their trash and turn it into beautiful or useful things and just think differently about what we're doing with the old concept of throw things away," Darling continued. "There really is no away."
About a dozen designers participated in the fashion show, with highlights including a bubble-wrap dress and a gown composed of cat treats. Garbage never looked so good.
