About

Junk to Funk Trashion Collective
Just like it sounds, trashion is a combination of trash and fashion….trash fashion…or as we like to call it, Trashion! Junk to Funk is a thought leader collective using trashion innovation as a way to drive the movement for us all to think differently about being consumers.

Trashion Edutainment for the Masses
Junk to Funk is unique in combining visual and performance art, fashion, sustainability education, interactive activities and entertainment. Through our various programs these offerings provide people a chance to connect, conceptualize and receive art in a creatively re-used form. Interacting with Junk to Funk encourages and inspires positive behavioral change by asking audiences to reconsider their consumption and disposal choices in an innovative, playful yet provocative and memorable way.

In addition to our independent event productions, our external programs include:
•   Youth Trashion Art and Edutainment
•   Trashion Event Entertainment
•   Trashion for Business
•   Public Sales and Rentals

Making Powerful Trashion Statements Since 2006
Junk to Funk was founded in 2006 as a “Recycled Fashion Show Contest,” combining Portland's interests in sustainability, art and fashion. The annual event (2006-2009) offered artists the opportunity to submit and wear art and couture fashion based on the innovative use of “trash,” generating sold out audiences who have never viewed trash the same since.

Mission

Junk to Funk is a collective that inspires individual towards responsible consumerism, creative re-use and conscientious disposal by providing unique fashion based entertainment and educational opportunities.

Vision Statement

To restore the earth by creatively transforming our engagement with stuff.
