Stuart Country Day School students turn trash to high fashion
Elisa Mercando of Belle Mead models the 1st place Upper School team design from the Stuart Country Day School “green” fashion show on January 14th, 2011. The dress was crafted from 7 different packs of playing cards, board game pieces and boxes, an old sheet, old buttons, plastic balls from a children’s ball house jungle, yarn, and ribbon. A Lower School team made the accessories. Other members of this team of 10th graders include Nicole Starke of East Windsor and Sara McArthur of Hopewell. The dress will be modeled at the annual Spring Auction, “See How Our Garden Grows” on April 2, 2011 at The Hyatt Regency Princeton. It will also be on display in The TerraCycle Store in Palmer Square through the end of February.
