The winning outfits of the three competitive categories at the 9th annual ReFashion Show will be on display at Esther’s Fabrics for the month of May. Winners of The Whole Shebang and Home Decor created in one day using a box of secondhand textiles and deadstock provided by the ReFashion committee and modeled their outfit/items that evening. The Student Challenge winner created her upcycled t-shirt/denim outfit at home and modeled at the show.
