Unique Wear & Share Fashion Show

Do you love fashion? Do you love reducing, reusing, and recycling? Then you’re going to fall in love this spring with a new and unique fashion show that’s sure to please fashionistas and environmentalists alike.

ystark!, a department of the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio, Inc. will display a wide assortment of renovated clothing, accessories, and jewelry in a charity event called Wear & Share.

Wear & Share will be held on Tuesday, April 23, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Centre Ballroom in downtown Canton’s Arts District.

The fashion show and Goodwill Challenge is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., and will feature the designs of ten local fashion designers. Celebrity judge Doreen Leaf will join her fellow community judges in examining the artistic renovations made by the local designers to determine the most creative and well-crafted submissions. One designer will also walk away with the People’s Choice Award, selected by the evening’s guests.

The Goodwill Boutique will be open on-site, and guests are encouraged to use the boutique to create their own ensembles. Proceeds from the Boutique will go to Goodwill and aid in their mission to make good skills possible, and to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families.

In a time when what is ‘new’ is not always affordable, re-usability is a significant skill to learn. Re-usability saves money, conserves resources, and presents the chance to appreciate old stuff all over again. Wear & Share doubles as a charity event and a source of creative inspiration.

Doors open at 6 p.m. at the Metropolitan Centre, located at 601 Cleveland Avenue NW in downtown Canton. Tickets are $10. Parking is available at the Metropolitan Centre and Community Services of Stark County for free.

For tickets and more information, visit the events page at www.ystark.org or call (330) 458-2070.
