2025 | New York to Paris
The World is Your Stage
We are embracing the world’s two most prominent fashion stages, NYC and Paris. Designers may choose to interpret this in a number of different ways. One, using an international theme. Choosing a favorite country or culture to celebrate. Or, “classic fashion week” ensembles, inspired by the runway, but created using upcycled materials. The theme will be carried through the décor, stage backdrop, as well as food and drink specials. Designers are encouraged to embrace the theme with their runway ensembles but it is not a requirement. All concepts/ideas/inspiration are welcome on the runway.

Artist Guidelines
We want YOU to be a part of this year’s upcycled fashion show!
This is a community event and we invite everyone, who is interested in participating, to join the fun! The SAVAGE fashion show is a great opportunity to share your creativity by creating an ensemble made of recycled materials to be modeled down the runway.
We need Models and Designers. For details on how to get involved, click the link below to read our Artists Guidelines or contact Carrie Stover, Director of the Shrode Art Center and SAVAGE coordinator at 618-242-1236 ext. 249 or email mailto:carrie@cedarhurst.org.
The deadline to sign up to be part of the show is Friday, January 31, 2025.
There will be an informal meeting about the event on Thursday, January 23rd 6:30-8:30 pm. We will share details about the runway show and have a time to answer questions. The ‘Savage Meet and Greet/Material Swap’ is also a great time to play match-maker and be sure all models have a designer and vice versa.
