2023 Upcycled Fashion Show GALA-GWAC Wolfeboro

I recently teamed up with the Governor Wentworth Arts Council and the GALA Makers Mill for their 2n annual “Upcycled Fashion” Show! I setup my mobile portrait “booth” at the Kingswood Regional Arts Center in Wolfeboro, NH and created portraits of the many designers and models present… what a blast! There were so many creative and industrious designs, with materials ranging from used Amazon packaging, to old CD’s, and curtains & tablecloths!! The resulting upcycled garments and accessories were quite impressive! I’m looking forward to working with GWAC & GALA again, and look forward to next year’s Upcycled Fashion Show! Hope you enjoy the portraits we created the night of the event.

Up first, we have GALA Makers Mill Executive Director & founder, Josh Arnold, looking dapper and ready for his Master of Ceremony duties in his own upcycled duds….
