Brooklyn resident Jennifer La Mastra recently created a striking pantsuit and bolero jacket made of recycled CD’s and dyed, felted human hair — collected from her own salon. She topped off the outfit with a purple Afro wig made of recycled guitar strings and spiral notebook bindings.
La Mastra modeled the outfit on Nov. 15 as “Miss Reverb Fever” at the 3rd annual Junk to Funk fashion show held at the Wonder Ballroom. The event was emceed by Mayor-elect Sam Adams and by Tara from Camas FM station KNRK/94.7.
As Jen strolled down the runway in her creative outfit, the announcer noted, “The flashy empire-waisted pants and sassy bra are a disco dream, made from hundreds of CD’s to create a visual banquet of light and colors, where treats for the ears become a feast for the eyes.”
La Mastra told THE BEE that she had a lot of fun making the outfit, and the accompanying purple Afro wig, for her entry into the popular fashion show produced by Elysium Events.
This exciting event, which promises to help “keep Portland weird”, demonstrates that the Rose City continues to forge ahead on the cutting edge of what’s fun and funky in the world of sustainable fashion.
