Fund raiser auction. Benefits 14 non-profits in the Moab Utah community. Come in costume. Must be 21 and ready to show I.D. Get ready to have fun and party! The fashion is art too.

Started as a small community fundraiser, the show has become an annual must see event in Moab, UT a town known for its extreme recreation. The fashion show brings out the extreme in winter entertainment, which this year promises to be more extravagant and eclectic than ever. Aerial Arts of Utah will be performing.

Each year artists and designers create outrageous theme based-fashion lines that are auctioned off as a fundraiser for Moab’s nonprofit organizations. Fashion designers whose intricate outfits are crafted by hand and only from recycled materials have sold for more than $600. Outfits from previous shows have included gladiators costumed in a kaleidoscope armor made from aluminum cans, dresses glittering with patterns made from smashed mirrors, and a "fur coat" made entirely from kids' stuffed animals. This year’s fashion show theme is "Intergalactic" with each designer creating out of this world wearable art.

Absorb the amazing Moab winter culture at the biggest party of the year in Southeastern UT. Raise money for self-sufficient community programs and promoting the recycle, reuse and restyle mission of WabiSabi thrift stores.

How we are trying to make this event "green":

Fashion is developed out of second hand store materials and supplies. Serving local grown wine, local brewed beer.
