The Salvation Army’s Runway Repurposed fashion show features designs from the next generation of fashion. Students are challenged to repurpose everyday items and vintage clothing, transforming them into one-of-a-kind wearable designs. Runway Repurposed embodies the value that everyone and everything deserves a second chance to be something great! The event helped raise funds for the Salvation Army’s Family Caring Center, an organization and shelter that provides a second chance to families in crisis in Pittsburgh.
