For those unable to attend the glitzy Fashion Week shows in Milan and New York, ArtStreet is offering an affordable alternative this weekend. Julie Roth devised the idea for a thrift store fashion show after trying to figure out what type of art was missing from the ArtStreet lineup. “There are a lot of people that are interested in clothing as an art form,” she said. “This way it is more economical.” Students volunteered to be a part of the fashion show and were given up to $12 to put together an outfit from thrift store finds, which get a bad reputation Roth said. “People think of thrift stores as outlets to find costumes or funny clothes you can buy,” she said. “You can find fun stuff that you can wear on a daily basis, and you can buy more because it is cheaper.” Roth maintains that she has gotten some of her best wardrobe pieces at thrift stores.
