The Change Couture Collection

Change Couture Collection

at the Green Inaugural Ball January 17, 2009

 

		This collection of garments, fashioned out of discarded campaign materials, is a celebration of the millions of people who worked countless hours to assure the election of Barack Obama as the President of the United States. Nancy Judd of Recycle Runway was a devoted volunteer in the Obama/Biden Campaign in Santa Fe. She organized hundreds of people in her neighborhood and inspired friends and relatives across the country to volunteer. This collection is a documentation of her experience being part of this exciting Campaign. The day after the election Ms. Judd went “dumpster diving” behind Obama Campaign headquarters in northern New Mexico. She filled her car with historic campaign materials that she transformed into elegant garments. Ms. Judd brought the Collection to the inauguration, showcasing it at the The Green Inaugural Ball, on January 17, the Reception to honor the New Mexico Congressional Delegation, and the New Mexico Inaugural Ball on January 19th.   The Obamanos Coat is also being considered by the Smithsonian for inclusion in the Obama Campaign exhibit!
