Info: Calling all swappers, strutters, and style rebels—this catwalk’s for everyone! Gia Carrascoso, Founder + CEO of UpCyclers (@upcyclers_), is leading the charge with a one-stop marketplace that makes upcycling accessible, empowering, and undeniably chic. Whether you’re rocking a remixed look or flaunting a DIY masterpiece, it’s time to wear your story—every stitch with purpose, every step with pride.

Info: Every item you bring earns you one ticket to swap—simple, sustainable, and stylish. Got a gently loved piece? Exchange it for something fresh from the community closet. At event close, the swap opens to all, and any remaining items will be donated with care. Let’s turn forgotten fashion into shared treasure—one piece at a time.

Info: Strut your stuff, flaunt that fit, and let the music move you—this is your moment to shine, swap star! Mingle, dance, and serve your reimagined style with confidence.

Info: Don’t ghost the finale—stick around ‘til the end for all the glam goodies, surprise treats, and last-minute magic. You’ll want to be there when the cauldron bubbles over!
