Rubidoux Youth Make Fashion History


Using tin cans, kool aid pouches, banged up teeshirts, and jeans that are old but not old enough to be cool, this group of 14 to 21 year olds are making unique ensembles that would wow the likes of Jean-Paul Gaultier, if he were here to see it.

The first week was a chaotic, hardworking success with 12 handbags and a scarf completed. Stay tuned for daily updates of this hip-hop meets punk and attacks the trashman youth project.

ps: Fashion show in August at the Riverside Community Arts Association . 8-6-09 7 pm. Bring your check books! (all proceeds benefit the Youth Opportunity Center).
