Sneak Peek: Discarded to Divine Preview Friday

Like many fans of local independent fashion, we’re looking forward to Friday’s Discarded to Divine evening preview at the de Young Museum with some serious gusto. It’ll give us a chance to get up close and personal with the annual project’s outpouring of apparel made from cast-off clothing and textiles. Sure to be one of the most popular pieces is the red dress shown above, a design from Project Runway contestant Sweet P.

Other standouts include the yellow and grey halter-topped dress by Art Institute of California student and designer Coral Castillo, who won the top spot in the women’s day wear category this year, and, below, a slinky black and white gown by Barbara Beccio.
