A Week of Freegan Fashion You are cherry-cordially invited to the Second Freegan Fashion Show: Threadbare! Come see our trashy models walk the beige carpet runway in one-of-a-kind handmade costumes spun out of scavenged scrap material. Cheer on amateur Freegans as they strip off the outfits they've been wearing for the last two weeks and threadbare it all. This is a night to reject commercial control of our self-images and reclaim pride in the sexiness of creativity. All are invited to participate as models or fashion designers. Freegan Fashion Week starts this Tuesday, with a design workshop, and continues Wednesday and Thursday with more clothing making and preparation for Friday night's party. Food is free. Dresses will be raffled. Following the show, stay and dance till the wee hours. El Dompe, 15 Thames Street, Brooklyn 10p; $7 donation supports Freegan Bike Workshop
