As part of Austin Fashion Week, which runs Aug. 14–21, the Austin Museum of Art and the Keep Austin Beautiful organization will present a fashion show that features designs by local artists. The twist? Every item is made from 100 percent recycled materials, including plastic bags, inner tubes, computer cables, vinyl banners and more.

Photographer Chris Jordan’s photo series on consumption and environmental issues inspired the concept for the show, and Keep Austin Beautiful will provide the necessary recycled materials used in the clothing designs.
More than 15 artists will participate in the “Project Runway”–style show.
