Trash to Runway: My Cousin's Trashion Show

Hey Hivers, and welcome back to my blog! Whether you're a seasoned reader or a curious newcomer, I'm thrilled to have you here. For those of you who haven't met me yet, I'm @patrixx21, and this is where I share my thoughts, experiences and adventures.

So, get ready for a spectacle of creativity where discarded materials are reborn as stunning shimmering attire. He'll be rocking the runway, proving that trash truly can be transformed into treasure.

My auntie dropped a news, about my cousin taking the runway at the upcoming trashion show! So, me being a supportive cousin, I volunteer in making the outfit because I love crafting, turning it into new and stunning masterpiece.

The trashion show will be happening in two days and we haven't even started anything. So, we begin collecting materials like sack of rice, trash bag, disk, papers and karton/carton.

The design is inspired by Michael Jackson, because my cousin loves singing and dancing and it's one of he's favorite artist.

The clock struck at 10:00 AM, I began my work of art by cutting here, sewing there. Two sleepless nights had aged me significantly, my body is aching and my eyes is sleepy but surrender wasn't an option, I'm not born to be a quitter. My cousin's trashion show is fast approaching, and I was determined to create a showstopping outfit using, well, trash.

The place where, I've been making the outfit is my room, and when you look at it, it's not a room anymore. It's like a storm, passed through it. It's so messy, cut disk, paper and plastics are everywhere.(😂😭)

The rice sacks, became the base of the outfit, so that it's not easily ripped while wearing it. I patiently cut and sewed them together. Also I made the trash bag concealed the entire rice sack, so that the color is the same and to have a aesthetic vibes, which is black. The CDs, became my crowning touch, this is what I chose because we have a lot of CDs that are no longer used and also to make the old clothes shiny and shimmering.

I also rolled the papers into small balls to add details in the corner of the top and the lower part of the pants. Adding small pearls for more details from my unused pearl necklace. Also, the hat is made from the carton, I patiently mold it to look like a hat and I'm happy of the outcome of it.

The final product was the testament of my sleepless night and to the transformative power of creativity. In an old and unused collection of discards trash became a resourcefulness and a beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. As my cousin took the stage, the outfit shimmered and swayed in the wind, a silent fulfillment wash through me, my hardwork had been paid off by just seeing my cousin smile in the crowd and get praise by them.

Standing backstage, the exhaustion of two sleepless nights melted away. The loud applause that greeted my cousin was enough for me. All my wounds from candle burns are worth it. In that moment, I wasn't just a crazed crafter fueled by desperation, I was a sculptor of fashion dreams, a testament to the fact that even with limited resources, anything is possible, especially with a good cup of coffee.

But this isn't just about fashion, it's about a powerful message. By giving trash a second chance, reminding us all of the importance of responsible consumption and the beauty that can be found in unexpected places. It's a call to action, a reminder that with a little creativity, we can all be part of the solution.
Transforming everyday discards into a masterpiece of sustainable style.
