If you’re reading Corena Allen right, you know she’s a believer in environmental protection. Allen, 17, on Friday was sporting a dress made of old newspapers at United High School’s TrashIn Fashion Show – a school assembly to highlight clothes made of recycled items. The value of a green economy was right there in black and white. Like sports? There it was on her left leg: A photo of Tiger Woods’ comeback. Entertainment? Read about Jimmy Fallon’s latest career move on her back. A story of importance to all Americans, about President Barack Obama’s health-care plan, was displayed across her midriff. Yeah, and the Pens beat the Isles. Students had fun – and showed their creativity – at the show. “How many calories is that?” emcee Marissa Rigatti, a senior, yelled across the stage to a fellow student modeling a shirt made of old juice boxes. Cereal-box shoes. Vests made of the cardboard from a 12-pack of Mountain Dew. Garbage-bag dresses. Potato chip bag purses. “We’re trying to get kids excited in learning the importance of recycling, natural resource preservation and energy conservation,” said Aaron Steinly, assistant principal. About 90 students from elementary-age on up took part. Kelsey Isenberg, 16, modeled a skirt of used CDs stitched together by her pal, Katie Mehalak, also 16. Katie’s mom works in a medical lab and came up with the idea of using the old medical instructional discs in apparel. “It’s just too noisy,” Kelsey said, before click-clacking away. Jordan Painter, 18, wore a cut-out cardboard box for a top. “It’ll catch on, I know it,” he joked. He understands the message of recycling his apparel conveys: “I think the world can be a better place.” Janet Blood of the IUP Fashion Department was one of the judges, and she was impressed. “Some of it had really good market potential,” she said. “Very neat and clean.” Blood said the students can think about what they can “repurpose.” “They don’t have to buy new,” she said. The lessons of the show were many, she said: Environmental, economical, societal. Major sponsors of the show included CJL Engineering of Johnstown, Wright Knox Shipping of Armagh, the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies and Penn Future from Philadelphia. United wants to recycle the fashion show itself. “We want to inspire educators at other schools to get involved in the greening process,” Steinly said. Toward that end, United wants other schools to join in a recycling fashion show next year, to be held on a Saturday. Because of the many contestants involved, the tabulation of the winners of Friday’s show will not be known until Monday, Steinly said. The grand prize winner will get $200.
