SM malls have been promoting waste recycling not only through its drop-off points for electronic and plastic discards but through fashion shows. SM City Novaliches in Quezon City hosted last week QC’s Catwalk to Sustainability fashion show that featured daily wear creations made from at least 70 percent recycled textiles and fabrics.

The recent RETASHOW aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of textile waste among Quezon City residents. Andrea Villaroman, head of QC’s Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Department, also said the RETASHOW aims to promote upcycling in fashion.

Mayor Joy Belmonte and other local government officials graced the contest that pitted 20 fashion designers for their creativity.

Emerging winner was Renegade Limpin with his denim ideas modeled by Kyle Fadera.

Meanwhile, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority employees have held their Green Runway Eco Fashion Show at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone to promote waste recycling. Unlike RETASHOW’s collections, SBMA models wore garments and accessories made from mostly discarded plastic packaging.

SBMA’s Finance Group won the first prize of the eco-fashion show.
