DIY Couture Fashion Lab with Angie Wilson

Friday, February 23, from 12:00 – 6:00 pm
Dwinelle Annex, Room 126, UC Berkeley

No sewing skills needed! Used garments will be redesigned and reconstructed into fashion masterpieces: shirts, pants, jackets, dresses, bags, etc. Students will have the option to showcase their garments in a student-led fashion show in March as part of our Amateurism Across the Arts Conference! All are welcome! For the workshop we are seeking donations of used clothes in any condition. Please bring garments to 203 Dwinelle Annex.
