Recycled fashion gets an artistic twist at Festival of Arts Runway Fashion Show
Fashions created from reclaimed, reused or recycled material were modeled Saturday in the Festival of Arts Runway Fashion Show in front of more than 2,000 guests from the fashion and design world and the Laguna Beach community.
Four prizes of $1,000 each were awarded at the ninth annual show, for Most Creative Concept, Most Exciting Ensemble, Most Innovative Use of Materials and Most Glamorous & Elegant red carpet-worthy creation. Visitors voted in the People’s Choice category.

The show, hosted by actress Kate Flannery, best known for her role in “The Office,” featured a panel of judges including actress and model Melissa Biggs, Marc Luc Zanola, a former Paris boutique manager for designer Gianfranco Ferre, and Marie Schley, an Emmy-winning costume designer.
