McLaren Vale gets creative on the runway

Sustainable fashion will again step on to the runway in McLaren Vale this weekend, with the second year of ‘Recycled Runway’ at Wirra Wirra on Saturday 31 May. 


More than a fashion event, Recycled Runway is a local movement embracing sustainability and style. 


The McLaren Vale Business and Tourism Association has teamed up with local businesses She Sews and Wirra Wirra to invite the community to make a statement about the future.

 

Fashion enthusiasts will showcase their creativity by transforming garments from op shops and local retailers into runway-worthy outfits, breathing new life into pre-loved clothes. 



Participants must create garments tailored to a model of their choosing for the catwalk. This model can be themselves, a friend, or a child. 


Local judges will evaluate entries based on creativity, adherence to the theme, and the story behind the creation in four categories: Open, Student, Costume and Mayors choice.


This accessible and inclusive event aims to build community connection, weaving a tighter bond within McLaren Vale and encouraging conversations about mindful fashion choices.


It all starts at 6pm at Wirra Wirra winery.
