Sustainable Coastlines Hawaiʻi is bringing back our Trashion (yes…trash…fashion) Show this year as part of our 2026 fundraiser. We couldn’t think of a better way to close out our 15 year anniversary celebrations than to revive one of our most beloved events. We are looking for 5 innovative and trendsetting designers to showcase their looks on the runway at Capitol Modern on the evening of Saturday, November 14, 2026 during our fundraising event.
Out of the chosen participants who walk the runway on Saturday, November 14, 2026, winners will be decided that night and may receive up to $2,000 and the opportunity to showcase their work in our Everyone Has a Coastline exhibition at Capitol Modern from November 14, 2026-January 22, 2027.
Judging Criteria for Design Proposals and the final Runway Looks on November 14th will be based on:
1) A design imagined and created out of 100% upcycled and reimagined materials
2) The designer's story and words behind the piece and what it represents
3) Innovation, creativity, and uniqueness of the design
4) Crowd excitement from the design during November 14th showcase
Want to enter your idea and stun the crowd with an amazing showstopper design? Submit the following proposal to us by Saturday, August 1, 2026!
