Project Runway Recycled: Launch Your Brand with Runway Recycled’s Deadstock
April 27 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Are you a sustainable fashion designer ready to launch your brand?
Yes? Read on…
Join Project Runway Recycled’s Deadstock Designer Launch, a 2-week design sprint where creatives reimagine unsold fashion and deadstock materials into bold, upcycled looks under the Runway Recycled (RR) brand.
This is more than a challenge—it’s a launchpad for your brand. From styling live models to getting professional photos of your designs, you’ll gain exposure, experience, and the chance to earn through profit sharing on sold items.

Upcycle into original designs over a 2-week sprint
Style up to 2 models for the live preview at our April 27 Earth Day showcase
Top designers will be selected to showcase their designs on May 2
One designer will win a grand finale feature with an international partner on June 8 (themed showcase)

• Deadstock materials to upcycle
• In-store work space (or bring your own sewing machine)
• Portfolio-quality photography of your work
• Live styling opportunity on April 27
