Recycled Couture Goes to Washington DC
by grmeyers
The Obamanos Coat
Nancy Judd, New Mexico developer of Recycle Runway and a participant in our video, “Trashy Art,” writes of her new project called the Campaign for Change Couture Collection: “This new series of garments, made from left over Obama campaign materials, is a documentation of my experience being a volunteer for this historic campaign and is a tribute to the millions of other people (including many of you!) who gave countless hours to assure the election of Barack Obama.”
Judd follows with this missive on important connections:

“I thought you might enjoy this wonderful article that the New Mexican printed yesterday about the Campaign for Change Couture Collection! http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Leisure/Campaign-couture
“Also, the Wall Street Journal just published a story about the Smithsonian’s Obama Exhibit that they are creating and used a photo of my dress! http://blogs.wsj.com:80/runway/2009/01/05/barack-obama-fashion-tchotchke-at-the-smithsonian/ One of my goals is to have the collection included in this very exhibit, what better introduction could I ask for!!
“THANK YOU to so many of you for your support of this project– I can’t tell you how touched I am by your generous contributions and well wishes!”
It is worthwhile to visit to Recycle Runway, pass the information on, and solicit funding assistance.
