Upcycled Fashion Makes Its Way to McAllen

ReMade in the RGVFive featured artists and their upcycled outfits remade will be part of “ReMade in the RGV: A Sustainable Fashion Show” April 3 at Quinta Mazatlán.

The free, 5:30 to 9 p.m. event welcomes participants to learn about the global fashion industry, upcycling techniques, what artists and scholars are saying, and how this is expressed and related to geographical context.

Community artists include Regina Montemayor, Samuel Ruiz, Eva Ryan, Natalia Saldana, vivi torres, Sunny Saxton and Alicia Garza. Reuse vendors and community organizations on hand will be Sputnik Space Crafts, The Druids Fancy, UTRGV Agroecology and more.

Malaquite will provide local food, including fresh grown veggie snack boards by the Hub of Prosperity and natural wine serviced by El Nopalito.

Quinta Mazatlán is holding the space with ReMade in the RGV in partnership with Voces Unidaded and Creative ReUseArte.

ReMade in the RGV is a project developed from the simple act of fixing holes in thrifted clothing. It saw transformation through what became an artistic process of working with second-hand clothing as a form of creative expression.
