About the Exhibition:
ReFashioned Runway is an upcoming juried exhibition. Refashioned Runway invites VCUarts and fashion merchandising students to create high fashion garments and accessories from pre-loved garments supplied by Pop Up Stop. Pop Up Stop is a faculty-led educational and advocacy program dedicated to diverting post-consumer waste from landfills and incineration, as well as spreading awareness about the connection between the way we treat our clothes and the textile waste crisis. Through this interdisciplinary exhibit, ReFashioned Runway aims to bring awareness to textile waste through clothing reuse and upcycling.
This event will provide applicants with an opportunity to document the original garments before they upcycle them for the open call. The exhibition will be open from January 22 – February 13, 2027. Applicants can submit up to three pieces during the open call, spanning from jewelry and accessories to full looks. Additionally, if an applicant would prefer to exhibit a photo of their piece rather than the physical garment, there will be a separate application process.
