The 2012 IAC Trashion Show: Couture Garbáge takes place this Friday, March 30th, upstairs at the Coney, and the designs made by the students of the IUP Fashion Association and Professor Steve Loar’s 3-D Design class are finally coming together.
The 2012 IAC Trashion Show: Couture Garbáge is less than two weeks away, and final arrangements are being made by all involved groups and individuals to make this unique fundraising event possible. With March 30th fast approaching, we would like to take some time to reflect on what Trashion is about, and acknowledge the contributions of those who have put their time and energy into planning, designing, and recruiting for this exciting occasion for the last few months.

Read the rest of this entrySteven Loar, a professor in IUP’s department of art, has been working with his teaching assistants and the students
of his Three-Dimensional Design class to construct numerous beautiful sculptural pieces that will be used and featured in this year’s IAC 2012 Trashion Show: Couture Garbáge. The sculptures will follow the theme, “Under the Canopy: Impressions of the Amazonian Rainforest”, will consist of numerous intricate pieces of sculpture that can be worn, modeled, and displayed at the fashion show. The sculptures will be constructed entirely out of post-consumer plastic waste products, and will refer to a certain kind of animal and its surrounding environment in the rainforest without relying on a literal representation.
In addition to constructing sculptural pieces to be featured in the fashion show, the Three Dimensional Design class will be presenting a larger sculptural piece that has been an ongoing communal project for Steve and his students for the past five years. The reef, made entirely out of post-consumer plastics, was first constructed during a trip that Steve took with his class to Andros Island in the Bahamas, where they collected trash from several miles of coastline. Since then the piece has been expanded upon by the students of each subsequent Three Dimensional Design class, as well as by students who have participated in One Island trips (see links at the bottom of this article for more information on One Island). The reef will be featured in the IAC 2012 Trashion Show as a main scenic piece for the runway. Steve says that the contributions to the reef this year depart from the work done by students in previous years by having students make pieces that can “stand on their own and [still] become part of a larger landscape”.

Armed with tissue paper, plastic, and just about any other post-consumer waste product they can get their hands on, the designers for the 2012 IAC Trashion Show: Couture Garbáge are working hard to bring their stylish and innovative ideas for the fashion show to life! Indiana, PA 15701
IUP’S 3D Design class, taught by Steven Loar, is still working hard on their plastics sculpture for the IAC 2012 Trashion Show: Couture Garbáge! These images of their large, scenic coral reef piece–a project that Steve Loar has been gradually building and expanding upon each semester over the course of the last 5 years–give you just a glimpse of the kind of intricacy and creativity that has only been achieved through the work of Steve and his past and current students.
