WORN AGAIN nola3
Save the date! Saturday July 18th WORN AGAIN nola3 (a benefit for Recycle For The Arts) promises to be the socially conscious social event of the season. WORN AGAIN designers deconstruct the random recycled materials we give them to create innovative works of wearable art. Forty of these artists will be chosen by our elite jury to rock the WORN AGAIN runway with amazing creativity. The festivities will begin with an exclusive Patron Party and Silent Auction followed by the wildly entertaining WORN AGAIN fashion show (live music provided by DJ Kristin) after which 4 designers will be awarded terrific prizes. The infamous Recycled Dance Competition will follow with original “old skool –vs- new skool” choreography performed by local dance troupes. DyVersatile Crew, a hip hop troupe from Mobile AL, will then kick off our After Party with Stinging Caterpillar Sound System throwing down till the wee hours. WORN AGAIN nola3 will be a wonderful night of radical creativity that true lovers of New Orleans creative culture will not want to miss.
