The third annual Reworked Runway at Xanadu Roller Arts showcased sustainable fashion, transforming the roller rink into a stage for innovative designs. Opening with a live performance by Liv Reinertson, the event featured garments by nine independent designers, who used recycled fabrics. The atmosphere was enriched by live music and dance, creating a vibrant fusion of artistic expression. Notably, Earth Day resonated with designers like Nicole Castañeda, who emphasized nature's influence in her work, reminding attendees of sustainable practices while celebrating creativity.
âI love the perspective of taking something that's typical, like a roller rink, and turning it on its head,â said designer Parron Allen.
âEarth Day is truly my favorite holiday. Nature always comes up in my process, no matter what it's about, because it sparks curiosity,â said Castañeda.
Castañeda's 'Illusion Dresses,' crafted from deadstock materials, featured hand-pleated chiffon that seemed to float on the body due to invisible straps.
As ambient music from the duo Katz Pascale filled the space, Reinertson sewed a garment from used fabric scraps, her precise movements syncing with the music.
