Adult Fashion Show 2012
Designer Alert
The 4th annual Green Is the New Black Fashion Extravaganza will be held March 9 and 10 in Carbondale. This year’s show journeys through the visions of our future from the 1920′s to now to bring us to the world we know today. Featuring fashion that sparks the imagination, created from recycled and sustainable materials, designers and artists, locally and globally, come together to create a dynamic, alluring, thought-provoking and highly entertaining event.
