All American Girl so that she can face the world knowing she
is not only wearing fashionable styles, but helping out the
world in the process.

supplies to knit and crochet clothes, outerwear and
accessories. Check them out at the Re-Style Fashion Show!

vintage rock T-shirts, army jacket and some other accessories
from her secret source. Keeping the music alive at

Green Belly Dancer
Only the really lucky aluminum cans make their way into
Amber Prices' designs. Their fate as the twinkly shimmy on a
belly dancer's costume is the best rebirth that all cans can
attain. Will we see them in action during the fashion show?
Be there to find out!
Kristi O'Meara
We were intrigued by Kristi's plan to use "secret chosen
materials" in her design for the Re-Style Fashion Show. What
else does she have up her sleeve, literally? Her
grandmother's dress patterns, fabric scraps, and thrift store
finds. Explore her other artwork at
www.myartspace.com/kristiomeara
Made By Lauren B
Tattoo artist, roller derby girl....seamstress? Lauren B is
tackling a completely recycled outfit for the Re-Style
challenge. An upcycled "Frankenhoodie" is in the works, and
we can't wait to see if there is some traditional tattooed
artwork incorporated into the design. Check out more of her
creations at www.madebylaurenb.etsy.com
Orchids and Ladybugs
Rescued materials from a yard sale free box and an old
bridesmaid dress are the ingredients in Orchids and
Ladybugs' designs that quickly caught our eye. These will
come together with salvaged silk flowers from the seasonal
clearing at the cemetery in an outfit with "dangerously nautical
flair." See more at www.orchidsandladybugs.etsy.com

be redesigned into contemporary, stylish pieces that can be

combination of the design and the vintage fabric, look like
something from the past. Different patterns, textures and
colors come together in a unique look. Shot at TEN at
