Recycled Runway

Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm clock going off at 6 a.m. I tried to get ready as quick as possible because I needed to be at school by 7:15 a.m.
Recently me and my fellow fashion classmates took a trip to Chicago. We wanted to stop by every store on the block but time wasn't going to be on our side because we only had 4 hours. As we get off of Michigan Ave, all I can see was buildings as tall as the skies, people running up and down the blocks, and traffic going no where.
We ran into the Water Tower Place, an amazing building with many beautiful features of different stores, food, and interior. Taking the escalator to go from floor to floor I came across a store called Candyality. It's not just an ordinary candy store, but it had these amazing garments made out of candy wrappers! I was so amazed and impressed by the layering, taping, gluing, and sewing techniques the designer used to put together the garments.
"light bulb" popped out of my head instantly. I was amazed and inspired by the works of these designers and hope to one day make a wrapper garment of my own.
