On Saturday night, the Education Foundation of Eagle County welcomed Project Funway, a fashion show in which participants had to make their own clothes—without fabric.
A panel of judges led by Mando Guerra, star of season eight of “Project Runway,” chose winners from clothes made of garbage, pinecones and so much more.
The show featured a dress made from a garbage bag and colored toilet paper rolls.
Best in Show went to a dress made from tarps and pinecones.
Blinds made for a unique and bouncy dress at Project Funway.
One young girl chose to make a dress from chocolate wrappers, topping it off with a heart-shaped candy box for a hat.
The dress that won the middle and high school age division was designed to reflect the wearer’s Mexican heritage.
In addition to solo performances, participants were allowed to design and walk in duos.
The reigning champ of the youth division took home the title again this year, sporting a dress decked out with beads and jewelry.
Participants were allowed small props, such as a “pot of gold.”
Outfits often had themes, such as designing a ’50s-style dress made with vinyl records.
