With the vacancy date approaching and the surplus of worthy thrift clothing left from the Healthy Babies nearly to the ceiling, they had little choice but to unload it. A volunteer came up with the idea of finding local designers to put together a collection with the extra clothes. They turned up six, mostly wardrobe specialists with various film and video ties. Their combined vision of unwrought futuristic design yields both bold and muted colors, frayed and unhemmed cross lines. As the show winds down, Curly hands out awards for the best ensembles, while the attendees bring out wallets and checkbooks.
Same thing goes with neighborhoods.
