What is ReStyle?
ReStyle, coordinated by Trash to Fashion Charitable Trust, is a 'wearable art' competition that is open to students and designers in the greater Waikato region, encouraging them to design wearable art that is made by recycling and reusing organic and inorganic materials.
The objectives of the competition are:
- To raise awareness of waste minimisation issues, in particular, the concept of recycling and reuse
- To encourage youth to get involved in environmental initiatives
- To encourage creativity and design talents.
