The Lower East Side Ecology Center will be hosting a one-of-a-kind citywide rummage sale and fashion show on Sat., Aug. 16. Revamped! encourages people to bring their old clothes to one of the drop-off points in exchange for coupons redeemable at the Aug. 16 event.
On the 16th from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m., one can rummage through other people’s “treasures” at the community garden at Avenue B and Sixth St. The Revamped! Fashion Show will take place from 7:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. Local designers such as Gaelyn and Cianfrani, Sistahs Harlem and Olivia Marino Private Collection will show their designs made from recycled textiles and recovered materials.
