Eco-Friendly Fashion Events This Weekend

13th August, 2010 - Posted by carsi - No Comments

This weekend, eco-friendly fashionistas have a few events to choose from to satisfy their green and sartorial urges. On both Saturday and Sunday at the Palmer Events Center, the City-Wide Garage Sale will provide an opportunity to make some great vintage finds. I have yet to go to this event, but friends tell me it’s a worthwhile experience. Five bucks to get in and you’ll find not just vintage fashion, but home decor, jewelry, antiques, books, and other collectibles. The event happens on several weekends each year, so if you can’t catch it this weekend, keep an eye out for the next round.

Also, this weekend kicks off Austin Fashion Week, bringing a wide variety of fashion events to Austinites all week long. This Sunday at 2, if you’re in the mood for even more green fashion, check out the Keep Austin Beautiful Fashion Show at the Austin Museum of Art downtown, where designers have taken recycled materials and crafted beautiful garments, similar to challenges on Project Runway. To get in, it’s $10 or $5 for members of the museum.
