Fabulous fashions created from material waste
on display May 4-June 8
The TRASHion Show is part of HKS’ ESG in Design initiative. By reusing, recycling and repurposing everyday materials to create one-of-a kind garments, TRASHion allows HKS’ designers to explore creative ways to reduce waste and demonstrate how design can help overcome worldwide environmental and social challenges.
The theme for the 2025 edition of TRASHion is Time for Change.
Materials for TRASHion’s garments must be 90% reused or repurposed. The fashion-forward garments will be featured in two window displays on Level 1 in the shopping center. The first is near Sephora; the second is across the hall, near the Outdoor Plaza entrance.
This year, not only fashions will be on display. Panels of materials used in the competition will be set up between the two window displays, where shoppers can see, feel and learn about them.
“The new interactive material display serves as a powerful reminder that our everyday choices — what we recycle, reuse, and discard — are part of a larger cycle,” said Leanne Doore, senior graphic designer and TRASHion co-chair at HKS. “By embracing the 5 Rs of waste management, we can reshape our mindset, actions and impact, paving the way for a more sustainable future.”
The TRASHion exhibit is just one of the ways Galleria Dallas goes green throughout the year. This spring, the center has hosted a display by artist Jenny Grumbles of portraits made using recycled cereal boxes, and in May, it will host a Paper for Water Gallery Wall display to draw attention to the world water crisis.
“Galleria Dallas is committed to green initiatives and is proud to be an IREM Certified Sustainable Property,” said Megan Townsend, Galleria Dallas Director of Marketing. “Partnering with HKS on its TRASHion Show initiative aligns with both our environmental initiatives and our commitment to showcasing the local creative community.”
