The Progressive Runway Project has been an exciting trash-fashion event in Providence the past two years. In May 2004 the project marched through the arched corridors of the Providence Place Mall in clothing made from recycled materials. Last year the project engaged the city streets on wheels with trash-fashion made for biking.

The Lettrist movement began in 1942 by a group of artists who wrote poems about their contemporary culture on their clothes. Lettrism now appears all over the fashion world through various brand name slogans. The Progressive Runway Project III will focus on bringing Lettrism back into the hands of the individual.

Participatory runway shows will occur @ 4 Providence hotspots on June 3rd, 2006. The goal of this year’s Progressive Runway Project III is to create a dialogue of our eclectic Providence community.

Participate:
-create and/or wear recycled and lettrist clothing
-document any part of the project with photography, film, sound, or writing
-donate old t-shirts and supplies for writing on fabric
-spread the word
