Artwork, style and eliminating waste occasion

WASTE THE RESOURCE CITY FOR LOCAL NONPROFIT TACKLING PALM BEACH COUNTY’S GROWING WASTE PROBLEM AND HOSTING AN EVENT CALLED RI FASHION WEEK. AND I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE DISPLAY WE HAVE GOING ON. JENNIFER O’BRIEN, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF RESOURCE DEPOT HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT THE EVENT. WHAT I LOVE THE DISPLAY LOOKS SO NICE, BUT IT’S ALL ABOUT TAKING FASHION AND REUSING IT AND NOT THROWING IT OUT, CORRECT? CORRECT. THERE’S SO MUCH CLOTHING THAT HAS BEEN CREATED. WE’RE KIND OF ABOUT TELLING PEOPLE THAT THERE’S WAYS TO HAVE NEW TO YOU. CLOTHES REFRESHING YOUR CLOSET WITHOUT BUYING NEW. SO THAT’S WHAT THIS WHOLE WEEKEND’S ABOUT. I LOVE IT. SO TELL US ABOUT THE ACTUAL EVENT WHEN IT’S HAPPENING AND HOW PEOPLE WATCHING CAN GET INVOLVED. SURE. WELL, NORMALLY MY CAVEAT NEEDS TO BE A RESOURCE. PEOPLE NORMALLY DOES NOT TAKE CLOTHING, RIGHT. FOR THIS EVENT. WE FEEL IT’S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN CONNECT TO, RIGHT? WE ALL HAVE A CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES. SO SINCE DECEMBER, WE’VE ASKED PEOPLE TO BE DONATING CLOTHES THAT THEY HAVE THAT ARE IN EXCESS. AND THE DONATIONS CAME POURING IN. WE HAVE OVER 3,000 POUNDS OF CLOTHES THAT CAME IN THAT NOW WE’RE MAKING AVAILABLE FOR OUR GUESTS TO COME ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY TO OUR TO OUR EVENT TO KIND OF REFRESH THEIR WARDROBE, SOME THINGS STILL HAVE TAGS ON THEM. THIS IS KIND OF AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE COME IN. AND WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE TIMELINESS OF THIS EVENT. KATE MIDDLETON LAST NIGHT, AN AWARD SHOW SHE REWARD, I THINK, FOR 2019, THE SAME DRESS KIND OF DRESS, DID A LITTLE SOMETHING TO IT. AND I MEAN, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA. GINGER ZEE DOES THAT ALL THE TIME. IT’S ALL ABOUT UPCYCLING, IF YOU WILL. WHAT DOES THIS SAY? I THINK THIS IS THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU. LOVE TO RELOAD. YES. SO THESE ARE ACTUALLY THE BAGS THAT WE’VE MADE AT RESOURCE DEPOT THAT YOU’LL GET TO FILL A BAG AT THE EVENT FOR $25. SO WHEN YOU BUY A BAG, YOU GET TO FILL THIS WITH WHATEVER THINGS YOU’RE FINDING ON THE RACKS OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE DONATED. AND AGAIN, PEOPLE HAVE DONATED BRAND NEW THINGS, SOME THINGS WITH TAGS. WE ALSO HAVE A SECTION THAT’S HIGH END BOUTIQUE THINGS. YEAH, ALL THOSE NAMES THAT THAT USUALLY GO FOR HUNDRDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE BETWEEN TEN AND $40. IT’S JUST A WAY TO RECYCLE BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF WASTE. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU. I COULD GO THROUGH MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW AND DONATE QUITE A FEW THINGS RIGHT? RIGHT. AND IT’S REALLY ABOUT JUST THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND THERE’S THINGS THAT YOU MAY HAVE THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN NEED. AND AGAIN, IT’S ALL ABOUT SAVING MONEY, KEEPING THINGS OUT OF THE WASTE STREAM THAT REALLY SHOULDN’T BE IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS BAG AND THIS SET UP WITH A LOCAL. YES, THIS IS A SPECIAL, SPECIAL KIND OF COMPONENT WE HAVE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. AND WE PARTNER WITH A FELLOW NONPROFIT AS OLD FASHIONED ART DESIGN WHO TEACHES PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, THE ART OF THE FASHION DESIGN WORLD AND SEWING SKILLS.

SO THEY’LL BE FOR SALE AT THE EVENT AND PROCEEDS WILL SPLIT BETWEEN BOTH OF OUR ORGANIZED FASHION.
