Haute Trash’s 4th Appearance

Haute Trash really knows we’re doing our job when we inspire others across the nation to rethink their waste as fashion materials! This little midwestern town continues to turn up new designers and fantastic ideas. This year’s show featured over 20 local designs, from artists like Mookie’s Madhouse, CarolWorld, and the Coupon Queen! We also had the participation of students from UCMO’s Fashion Merchandising Department, and nearby Holden High School. Thanks for all the love! Featured here is “Le Carton Roule”, made from cardboard rolls from toilet paper and paper towels. Designed by Christina Ramos and modeled by the lovely Kesha.

Haute Trash Appears at Green Glam at San Francisco City Hall

September 7, 2018.

Haute Trash was invited to show our work at the Green Glam fashion show at San Francisco City Hall. Green Glam SF is an environmental movement celebration uniting all sustainable industries, global leaders, conscious citizens, integrative health, transformational leaders and all communities with the commitment to environmental preservation and the health of future generations.

San Francisco Sustainable Fashion Week International was an Official Affiliated event of the Global Climate Action Summit 2018. Haute Trash was proud to be a part of this amazing event. Designers from all around the world converged on City Hall with some pretty incredible designs.

Haute Trash Designer Lotta Rubbish Featured at Artiszen Fashion Show

April 24, 2017

 

San Francisco designer Lotta Rubbish (Nic Griffin) represented for Haute Trash at a recent fashion show in Vallejo, at the Artiszen Gallery. The “RE-Fashion Show” was billed as a fashion show with renewed purpose.

 

In honor of Earth Day, this  show presented different ways you can do your part to preserve the Earth’s resources. Whether it’s REcycling trash and turning it into “trashion”, RE-playing fashions from the past, or RE-instilling life into worn clothes with tie dye, these clothes have been RE-invented, RE-purposed, RE-mixed and RE-created into fun, fabulous, and over the top outfits.

 
The Artiszen Cultural Arts Center is a place for people to gather, create, and enjoy art in all forms. It is a beautiful and elegant addition to the Vallejo arts community. The current show at the gallery (through May 20) is “WISDOM/ART/RESISTANCE: Powered by Women”, an exhibition featuring women over 50. All are welcome! The Artiszen Cultural Arts Center is located at 337 Georgia St, Vallejo, CA.
