MEDIA ADVISORY
St. Anne's-Belfield School Bringing CHARLOTTESVILLE to Life

Charlottesville, VA, Nov. 04, 2015 – From Greenberry’s Coffee to the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Paramount Theater to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, iconic sites and cultural representations of Charlottesville will be brought to life on November 7 and 8 in St. Anne’s-Belfield School’s tenth annual Wearable Art Runway Show. 

Each suit or dress in the show, 39 this year made by 35 students, is composed entirely of non-fabric items. Leaves, paint chips, egg crates, shopping bags, even University of Virginia football tickets have been used to construct works of art that will be modeled live. Materials donations were received from Greenberry’s Coffee, Foods of All Nations, Kate Spade, King Family Vineyards, and more.

The anniversary show will also feature accessories made by the School’s Learning Village students, those in kindergarten through eighth grade.
