The Project ReUse fashion show isn’t exactly part of New York fashion week, but this year, armed with a celebrity judge and a new location, ReUse Industries plans to show that recycling can be more than just practical — it can be fashionable.

Saturday’s fashion show at ARTS/West will show off the creations of nine teams of designers. The $6 admission will benefit ReUse Industries, a non-profit environmental organization whose main goal is to keep reusable materials from being dumped into the waste stream.

The designing teams were given $10 each in the form of a gift card to the ReUse Thrift Store and about a month to make their creations. They will compete for gift baskets full of $500 worth of prizes donated by local businesses.

Judging the designs will be Passion Works founder Patty Mitchell, local musician Liz Pahl and former Project Runway semi-finalist Angela Keslar.

Sherri Oliver of ReUse Industries organized the show and said she contacted Keslar about becoming a judge when she found out she was from Amesville, Ohio — about 20 minutes from Athens.

“She is someone from the fashion world who is local and very involved in the Athens community, and we are really excited to have her,” Oliver said.

Keslar isn’t the only surprise that ReUse Industries has up its sleeve. The after-party, which will be at Casa Cantina, will feature the bands Casual Future, Silo Circuit and Russenorsk. The show will start at 10:30 p.m. and run until 1 a.m., when the bars close early for daylight saving time.

Those who can’t make the show will still be able to see the outfits, Oliver said. They will be displayed at Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville April 25 at the opera house’s Final Fridays gallery.

“The whole purpose of the event is just to show people that you don’t have to spend tons of money, or even buy something new to come up with something really interesting and fashion forward,” Oliver said.
