MINI-SKIRTS made of patty cake cases and garbage bag couture are just some of the outfits you might see at this year's Art to Wear Fashion Parade.
The annual fashion fund-raiser will be held at the Campbelltown Arts Centre this Sunday, September 20.
Joan Long from the Friends of the Arts Centre, who organise the event, said 60 garments made from new and recycled materials would be paraded down the makeshift runway.
``There will be a variety of outfits on display, from evening wear to street wear,'' she said.
``We encourage people to let their imagination run wild and have a bit of fun. It's amazing what you can come up with.''
This year, 25 people will show their designs in the parade.
The designers will range from their early 20s to their 90s.
``Some of the designers made their dresses for their HSC last year while another is exhibiting a dress she made for her year 12 project back in the 1950s,'' Mrs Long said.
``She is very proud of the fact it still fits her.''
Local designer Carmen Hannan said she used patty cake cases and a mini-skirt from an op-shop to make her masterpiece.
``I wanted a simple inexpensive way of using everyday materials to create a colourful, pretty and individual item of clothing,'' she said.
``We have 619 patty cake holders doubled and reinforced with sticky tape to cope with the needle and curling ribbon, attached in rows down the skirt.
``Each length of curling ribbon was curled then spilt into two or three sections to create an effect of fragile femininity.
``I am happy with the result, pity I can't wear it myself.''
