Style is always attainable when you’re using recycled items. That’s the mindset that 23 young fashionistas took to create their own unique outfit out of unconventional materials for the 2nd annual iconcept jr. event on Sept. 24 at Art Center Sarasota. The designers model (or have a friend model) their designs at the fashion show, which doubles as a fundraiser for the center. The event included a buffet brunch and the chance to enter a raffle for a night at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota or for a spa treatment at the hotel’s spa and salon.
