Here I am in my new home - Portland, Oregon. Be aware, Thrifters, there’s plenty of material out here and you’re going to hear all about it.

While wandering about town today I came across this “Junk To Funk” display showcasing some trashion created by local art students.

Junk to Funk combines “visual and performance art, fashion, sustainability education, interactive activities and entertainment.”

These pieces are perfect representations of Portland. First of all, it’s a very environmentally aware place so the project has a perfect home. Second, everywhere you look you see bikes, coffee, rain and outdoor sports enthusiasts… the fashion certainly makes excellent use of what’s around!

For more information about this very cool organization check out their website.
