Anyone interested in recycled/repurposed fashion design is invited to enter and design an outfit for Monday’s Fashion Contest, which is MPL’s inaugural repurposed fashion show and contest.
Designs will be judged by professional artists, designers, and fashionistas. Winners will be announced at the event and awarded cash prizes of $100 for first place, $50 for second place, $25 for third, and $25 for the crowd favorite.
MPL’s MakerSpace will also have Makers’ Ball-related classes to get your creative juices flowing including: Steampunk Design (March 10), Book/Purse Fabrication (March 31), and Fascinators (April 7), along with more to come in April.
