Worn Again: Runway

7:30pm - 11:00pm, Saturday, July 24, 2010
Location: The Howlin' Wolf

“A Mind-Blowing Night of Recycled Fashion”

Saturday July 24th @ The Howlin’ Wolf
$15 at the door

Team WORN AGAIN has hosted seven fabulous years of re-purposed couture supporting various grass-roots organizations; 2010’s fundraiser will be our fourth in New Orleans, establishing this recycled fashion extravaganza as one of our city’s premier “socially conscious social events”. We are pleased to announce that WORN AGAIN nola4 will benefit the community-based arts and literature collective Press Street.

WORN AGAIN designers deconstruct the random recycled materials we give them to create innovative works of wearable art to rock the WORN AGAIN runway. The WORN AGAIN Patron Party precedes the fashion show and the After Party is kicked off by our infamous Recycled Dance Competition. WORN AGAIN nola4 is always a wonderful night of unique fashion, terrific prizes, limited edition merchandise and amazing music that true lovers of New Orleans creative culture will not want to miss.

WORN AGAIN nola4 + Sat July 24th + The Howlin Wolf
PATRON PARTY: 7:30–8:30p (Advance preview of the Top 10 WORN AGAIN designs/Silent Auction/hors d’oeuvres/DJ Kristen/VIP lounge) $50

WORN AGAIN nola4 will benefit Press Street, a New Orleans-based collective which promotes art and literature in the community through events, publications and arts education. In addition to publishing books and operating the non-profit gallery Antenna, Press Street produces the annual free, all-ages, 24 hour community arts extravaganza Draw-A-Thon, which last year drew 700 participants from across the region.

by Brian Zeigler & Raymond “Moose” Jackson

Part fantasy, part social commentary, Revacuation is a visual response to the tragic and absurd events of year one as they unfolded. Benischek’s raw, immediate style, lush imagination and quirky humor make Revacuation a wholly original addition to the post-K cultural discourse. Beginning [...]
