The Dunham School will host Recycle Couture, a green fashion show, tonight in the Reilly Theatre at 7 p.m.Students from Dunham collaborated with the University’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Community Outreach to plan the show, said Azizza Darwish, Dunham student and director of publicity for the event. Models will wear specially designed pieces created from recycled material.”Our goal is to raise awareness within the community about the importance of recycling,” Darwish said. The school will sell recycled jewelry at the event and will include a live auction and live music.Donations will benefit two nonprofit organizations. The Spirit of Youth Association, based in Egypt, developed a recycling school to assist people living in poor areas surrounded by garbage dumps near Cairo, Darwish said.The Manna Project International supports the impoverished people of Nicaragua and Ecuador, many of whom live in garbage dumps, Darwish said. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Entry donations of $25 are encouraged, but not required, Darwish said.
