On November 11, Green Shanghai, a student organization dedicated to promoting conservation and sustainability on campus and across the city, hosted its third Trash Fashion Show at the Shanghai Himalayas Museum. The show brought NYU Shanghai’s aspiring designers, models and eco-activists together to transform trash into high fashion and raise awareness about the possibilities of recycling and sustainable development. Students walked the runway in eye-catching outfits made from everyday waste such as bubble wrap, surgical gloves, and trash bags.
