What exactly is Deconstruction - Reconstruction?

Welcome to Deconstruction-Reconstruction! We are a group of art students hailing from various areas of study including fashion, fibers, and metals at Virginia Commonwealth University. We are researching recycling fibers as a response to the large amount of muslin scraps wasted each day in the fashion design department. Throughout our project, we will be collecting muslin scraps from the design studios in recycling bins, keeping track of how much is wasted, in hopes of creating a continuing fabric recycling program. During our research, we will be meeting with designers working with eco-friendly or recycled materials. We will also use the scraps in combination with found and recycled metals to create one of a kind garments and accessories in order to reuse the wasted scraps. These pieces will be featured in a final show in May 2008.

Decon Recon Show Delay

If anyone has checked our blog or seen our signs and postcards for the show, they will know our gallery show was supposed to be up today; this is not the case. We did not realize until yesterday morning that the VCU Student Commons is closed for Memorial Day Weekend!! Therefore, we would not have even been able to get in to install yesterday. We will now be installing Wednesday morning, so if you would like to see the show this week, it should be up Thursday, and you should totally check out the Opening Reception on Friday, May 30th from 5-7pm. There will be food and live music!! Bring your friends and come see what we have been working on this semester. In case you didn't realize - it is totally free!!
