" Junk to Funk " by Christine McBeth

On Saturday November 14, 2009 at 7pm Portlanders flocked to the Crystal Ballroom to attend “Junk to funk.”  “Junk to funk,” is a unique fashion show that exhibits couture designs made from recyclable and reusable materials.  The runway featured local designers who used “trash” to create wearable art. Attendees could vote for the piece that they liked the best.  The fashion show was reasonably priced at $20.00 to attended and all-ages were welcome.

From the roars of the crowd the event was a huge hit with everyone who attended.  The designs were elaborate and extremely creative, and I was pleased with the overall experience at the Fashion Event.  As a first time attendee I was not sure what to expect, but I was definitely surprised at how extravagant some of the designs actually were.  The whole event was planned out perfectly and seemed to go smoothly.  The lighting, music, and entertainment was great.  Sam Adams and Marjorie Skinner, who really kept the crowd and the event alive, hosted the show.  Overall, the Fashion Show was a huge success and I will definitely be going again next year.
