Eagle Pass

The lights go down, a spotlight focuses on the model making her way down the catwalk in a stunningly luminescent cocktail dress which catches the light and makes an impact on the audience as she strikes a pose to the sounds of cameras clicking and flashes lighting up the stage. Does this sound like the latest fashions from Paris being put on display in front of the world's leading fashion experts in Milan? Well if you do a quick double take, the fabulous dress being worn by the model is not Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Anthony Vaccarello, Marc Jacobs or even Prada, it is the latest in cutting edge fashion and made of unusable materials. No it is not the latest hip designer in fashion, the dress is literally made of recycled trash and recyclable materials. As you can see from the accompanying picture, Eagle Pass waste has never looked so good and the talented designers who have come up with these styles are students from Eagle Pass High School. Ruth Zamarripa, a parent of one of the designers, informed The News Gram that the public in general is invited to attend a fashion show at Eagle Pass High School on Saturday, February 23rd at the Eagle Pass High School High School Auditorium. Her son, Aaron, has shown a flare for design and has even caught the interests of Disney and they hope he has a future in the world of fashion and design. What is most important is the fact that Zamarripa is using materials found lying around the house such as used plastic bottles, newspaper, and materials such as these to create his interesting clothing which will be proudly on display this Saturday. If you wish to be the first to see what's sure to be this season's hit and possibly even the next big thing on youtube or even on CNN Style, you need to come out and see it first hand.
