some previous t-shirt reconstructions

[pinoyblaze]

in the spirit of reconstruction and the need to address issues in our communities my group CATT (Community of Advocate Teens Today) did a recycled fashion show a couple of months ago. Everything was either donated or bought as thrift. I was one of the lead designers, taking inspiration from Generation-Tee by Megan Nicolay as well as other sources to make fashion with a message. Here are some of them, tell me what you guys think :P

Yeah, the dress itself was actually one of the harder items to keep together O_o plastic bags surprisingly easily rip (yeah, I know why the garbage always falls on my feet when taking out the trash)

My personal favorite will always be the punk outfit...though I unfortunately don't have a good picture of Vy (my model) wearing it :o

[MamaSasss]

Love it. Love everything. Major kudos, kid. :D
