One man’s (or woman’s) trash is another’s fashion accessory. That’s certainly true with the 4th Annual Trashy Fashion Show at the Largo Cultural Center. This unique “trashion” show will feature more than 30 innovative fashions by amateur eco-designers that were created using at least 75-percent reused or recycled materials. Designs will be donned by models who will strut down a 30-foot catwalk and will be judged by a panel which will include environmentalists, fashion editors and designers (including myself). Each designer is also required to submit an environmental fact which is read on stage as their design is modeled. Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event or at the Largo Cultural Center by calling 727-587-6793 or visiting LargoArts.com. $10. Fri., April 22; 7-9 p.m. 120 Central Park Drive, Largo.
