Two Heritage Woods students have been talking "trash" since last fall.
And, tomorrow night, they will see their words tip out at a garbage fashion show a fundraiser for Days for Girls.
Amrita Mohar and Farah Jhumra host the May 7 event that features 11 recycled outfits by teens from the Port Moody high school as well as from Gleneagle and Riverside secondaries.
Mohar said the unique pieces will be modelled in the grand hall by either the makers or models.
Grade 10 student Olivia Green will showcase her green pop bottle dress an invention that took a month to roll out by hand, using hot water while Kiki Yu, who heads to the prestigious FIDM in Los Angeles this fall, will highlight her ballet dress (made from magazine cut-outs and tracing paper) with friend Lola Zhou, a student at Burnaby Mountain secondary.
Jhumra said the pair hope to raise at least $1,000 for the Washington State-based charity Days for Girls, which offers hygiene and health education to girls and women in developing countries.
Tickets for the garbage fashion show, at 6 p.m., are $6/$4 at the school door (1300 David Ave., Port Moody). Meanwhile, corporate sponsors wanting to donate to the event can email [email protected]. Call 604-461-8679.
