Transform old used clothing into wearable art. That was the challenge for local designers from Dress for Success Quad Cities for tonight's fundraiser, "Recycle the Runway."
Dress for Success in downtown Davenport helps women dress appropriately for job interviews, and then helps them with more clothing and career advice once they're hired. Founder and executive director, Regina Haddock says for tonight eight designers were given a bag of clothing and asked to create a wear-able outfit.
The designer of the best outfit will receive a cash prize.
Haddock founded the Quad Cities chapter of Dress for Success in 2011, and since then it's helped about 500 women prepare for job interviews and for work.
And just as the agency gives clothing a second chance, Haddock says, it also gives women a second chance.
